Rest API on 7.1 cannot authenticate

Hi Mik

Usually "invalid credentials" does mean that there is an error in the username / password combination. I assume you've already checked that.
Could you post more of your authentication / connection code to check wether there are other issues around handling the authentication?

I'm trying to connect with a rest client (Postman) to test the api before implementing the logic

Using POST request with header: Content-Type:application/javascript

and passing in the body the json string written in the post before

 

It might be an issue with your rest client. Did you try using the same credentials applied to the powershell samples added to the API reference doc to check wether you're credentials do work at all?

Same error using the powershell example support.oneidentity.com/.../15
If I go to myhost/D1IMAppServer thorugh web I can successfully login with the same username and password.

What version of 1IM are you using?

7.1

If I try API with D1IMAppServer/swagger-ui/#!/Collections/entities__table__get iinside the API documentation with the button Try it they worked

Using the correct syntax / command sequence in powershell it did work for me using 7.1.0 and 7.1.1 in several occasions:

$authdata = @{AuthString="Module=DialogUser;User=<user>;Password=<pwd>"}
$authJSON = ConvertTo-JSON $authdata -Depth 2

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://<url>" -Body $authJSON.ToString() -Method Post -UseDefaultCredentials -Headers @{Accept="application/json"} -SessionVariable $wsession

I used the same instructions .
Did you use and admin user? how did you create it?

Update:
the powershell example works if I made it from a machine inside the domain.
it doesn't work it I made it outside. I can access to the web iterface of the Appserver but not to the rest service.
But is strange that is IIS that tell me I'm unathorized

It is not strange that the IIS gives you 401 when you are not authorized. This is the normal behavior. I think you have configured to use windows authentication for the AppServer in the IIS.
