Not able to access REST API at ESRF

# 4 years ago
zreszela	Hi Tango dancers! and Happy 2020! I was recently trying the REST API and I found in the documentation: https://tango-controls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development/advanced/rest-api.html#deployment a mention about the ESRF REST API. Is it supposed to work? I'm trying: curl -u "tango-cs:tango" https://mstatus.esrf.fr/tango/rest and I get HTTP Status 401 – Unauthorized <!doctype html><html lang="en"><head><title>HTTP Status 401 – Unauthorized</title><style type="text/css">h1 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:22px;} h2 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:16px;} h3 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:14px;} body {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:black;background-color:white;} b {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;} p {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;background:white;color:black;font-size:12px;} a {color:black;} a.name {color:black;} .line {height:1px;background-color:#525D76;border:none;}</style></head><body><h1>HTTP Status 401 – Unauthorized</h1><hr class="line" /><p><b>Type</b> Status Report</p><p><b>Description</b> The request has not been applied because it lacks valid authentication credentials for the target resource.</p><hr class="line" /><h3>Apache Tomcat/9.0.14</h3></body></html> While when testing it on my REST server instance I get: curl -u "tango-cs:tango" http://localhost:10001/tango/rest {"rc4":"http://localhost:10001/tango/rest/rc4","v10":"http://localhost:10001/tango/rest/v10"} Cheers, Zibi

Hi Tango dancers! and Happy 2020!

I was recently trying the REST API and I found in the documentation:
https://tango-controls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development/advanced/rest-api.html#deployment
a mention about the ESRF REST API. Is it supposed to work?

I'm trying:

curl -u "tango-cs:tango" https://mstatus.esrf.fr/tango/rest

and I get HTTP Status 401 – Unauthorized

<!doctype html><html lang="en"><head><title>HTTP Status 401 – Unauthorized</title><style type="text/css">h1 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:22px;} h2 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:16px;} h3 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:14px;} body {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:black;background-color:white;} b {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;} p {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;background:white;color:black;font-size:12px;} a {color:black;} a.name {color:black;} .line {height:1px;background-color:#525D76;border:none;}</style></head><body><h1>HTTP Status 401 – Unauthorized</h1><hr class="line" /><p><b>Type</b> Status Report</p><p><b>Description</b> The request has not been applied because it lacks valid authentication credentials for the target resource.</p><hr class="line" /><h3>Apache Tomcat/9.0.14</h3></body></html>

While when testing it on my REST server instance I get:

curl -u "tango-cs:tango" http://localhost:10001/tango/rest
{"rc4":"http://localhost:10001/tango/rest/rc4","v10":"http://localhost:10001/tango/rest/v10"}

Cheers,

Ingvord	Hi Zibi, Since Jan'19 ESRF REST is integrated with ESRF LDAP. You need to provide ESRF LDAP credentials to access REST. Your local installation uses plain authentication hence built-in credentials (tango-cs\|tango) work. More on authentication can be found here: https://github.com/tango-controls/rest-server/wiki#authentication Documentation needs to be updated indeed. Cheers,
