PSO - Postman POST - Basic Auth - 401 Unauthorized error

Hi Miguel, my understanding is that you need to obtain a session token to authenticate with the gateway and then use that as a bearer token in postman.

Hi Miguel,

you don’t need to provide the “Default\” prior the username - only username is enough.

Further, you first need to obtain a session token. Pleae see also the PSO Interface Guide & swagger documentation for more information:

Hi @tomgreenwood ,

I should have mentioned that I have also tried getting a token but I also get an error message, please see below. I have successfully used Tokens in other PSO environment, not hosted by IFS though.

@roklde I don’t have access to enable swagger in this IFS hosted environment

@roklde please see below from the Interface Guide

Many thanks for your feedback

Miguel

I think your POST request uses a body, however the 3 values should be sent as Params:

I also inherit “authorization from parent”, here is how it looks like:

And for not having to manually copy&paste the apiKey, I use this after my POST:

Btw, you can grab the swagger definition from any instance, doesn’t have to be this one.

@Alexander Heinze 

thank you Alexander, I have tried that and still an error message

I have notice I have a special character in my password ‘#’  and it gets translated as % , please see below. I am going to change the password and see if that works

Kind regards

Miguel

Hi all

changing the character in the password did not make a difference

This is my current setup for a token in Postman

Many thanks for your advise

Miguel

Are you still getting a result 400? I get the same error when a submit a wrong password.

And did you allow Basic Auth also in the general settings, not just on the user?

Hi @Alexander Heinze 

I have now allow Basic Auth in the General Permissions. The user already has this granted

I have tried again and I am getting a 400 Bad Request error

I have logon as the user, changed the password and tried again with the new password

Same error

Kind regards

Miguel

@roklde , many thanks, the Token is now working and also basic Auth.

Thanks all for your prompt feedback

Kind regards

Miguel
