### Setup Conductor C# Package​

```shell
dotnet add package conductor-csharp
```

## Configurations

### Authentication Settings (Optional)
Configure the authentication settings if your Conductor server requires authentication.
* keyId: Key for authentication.
* keySecret: Secret for the key.

```csharp
authenticationSettings: new OrkesAuthenticationSettings(
    KeyId: "key",
    KeySecret: "secret"
)
```

### Access Control Setup
See [Access Control](https://orkes.io/content/docs/getting-started/concepts/access-control) for more details on role-based access control with Conductor and generating API keys for your environment.

### Configure API Client
```csharp
using Conductor.Api;
using Conductor.Client;
using Conductor.Client.Authentication;

var configuration = new Configuration() {
    BasePath = basePath,
    AuthenticationSettings = new OrkesAuthenticationSettings("keyId", "keySecret")
};

var workflowClient = configuration.GetClient<WorkflowResourceApi>();

workflowClient.StartWorkflow(
    name: "test-sdk-csharp-workflow",
    body: new Dictionary<string, object>(),
    version: 1
)
```
