Should I enabled the user to something? Thanks Mik

Hi Mik, if you take a look at the PowerShell examples from the REST API documentation you will see that you need to work with session variables. You need to save the successful authentication in a session variable that needs to be passed to every subsequent call against the REST API.

Rest API on 7.1 cannot authenticate

michele.polizio over 6 years ago

Hi all,

I'm trying to access my IM through web API:

if I get appserver/authmodules

it returns


Id	Caption	Password Based	Is Default
RoleBasedManualADS	Active Directory user account (manual input/role based)	false	false
RoleBasedADSAccount	Active Directory user account (role based)	false	false
DialogUser	System user	false	true
RoleBasedPerson	Employee (role based)	false	false
ADSAccount	Active Directory user account	false	false
DynamicPerson	Employee (dynamic)	false	false

I'm trying to use the DialogUser method

in the follow way:

calling auth/apphost

with in the body the following json as decribed in the documentation:

{"authString":"Module=DialogUser;User=*SystemUsername*;Password=*SystemUserPassword*"}

but I get a 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials

but the user is an admin user and has all the privileges.

Should I enabled the user to something?

Thanks Mik

1)Can i disabled it? Just the firse authentication part?
2) Or How can I force an autenthication from a web based application to autenthicate agaist the domain before send the username and password from json?
3) If I get autenthicate in the answer from the server I get this (IN dev I have ton restriction so it works) :

{
"claims": {
"schemas.dell.com/.../identifier": "CCCAdmin",
"schemas.dell.com/.../useruid": "CCC-65E9B3D39FFE925C4D7747A69876C128",
"schemas.dell.com/.../module": "DialogUser",
"schemas.dell.com/.../product": ""
},
"passwordBased": true,
"moduleDisplay": "System user",
"sessionId": "t0w0JxsyplKZiqqlEQz7",
"userName": "CCCAdmin",
"responseStatus": {}
}

I think the sessionId is what I need to call API as authenitcated user. But where I have to put it in the request? as header?
I'd like to use a javascript framework the interrogate rest service with ajax request.

If I put in a ajax post request the json upon as body of the request it works but how I have to do for get requests?

Hi Mik, not sure if you can receive my message or not, we are encountering the similar error currently. For your case, did u put the sessionId as header in the request ?
