Login using JIRA REST API from .Net web service?

[Jyotiranjan Rout]

Have a .Net web service already written to use JIRA SOAP API. Now, I have to migrate to REST API, I need to change my web service.

I found JIRA REST api reference here : https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/7.0-SNAPSHOT/#api/2/priority-getPriorities

and SOAP to REST migration guide here :

https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/api-reference/jira-api-status/jira-rpc-services/jira-soap-to-rest-migration-guide  The migration guide has the SOAP methods, that my web service is using(its great!!!)

I wanted to know, is there any step by step tutorial available for this migration for .Net web service? If someone can help me with login method could be great as login method does not have any REST version? Please let me know.

The documentation is for converting anything from SOAP to REST.  It's not for .net or any other language, because it doesn't matter what your code is written in.  Both SOAP and REST expose interfaces to you, and it's entirely up to you how you use them.  

For stuff about logging in, I usually refer back to https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/api-reference/jira-rest-apis/jira-rest-api-tutorials/jira-rest-api-version-2-tutorial - you'll find examples for some languages in there, .net doesn't need to do anything different.
