Hi,

I've been using QLogin to send restore requests via a powerbuilder application until now, but somehow it dont work anymore and I have to try to use REST requests but even after reading 10 times the documentation I dont succeed to login using the Postman application.

here is my POST request, if someone can tell me what is wrong in it, I'd be very pleased :

Hi,

if I need to Login with Postman, all I need to enter ist this:
http://nameofcommvaultwebserver/webconsole/api
As authentification I use a QSDK Token.

Regards

Thomas

Hi, I have used the Rest API via Postman a while back.  However like yourself, when I follow the documentation i cannot log in - although in my case it says the Base64 password is invalid (errorcide 1116).  Tried via Postman and CURL (tried the HTTPS webconsole/api and WebService URL).  Perhaps someone else can chime in?

Hi,

Finally I succeed to get an answer but it ends always with error 1117 : Wrong user/passw.

Using this works for me:

POST https://<CommServeFQDN>/webconsole/api/Login
{
    "username":"admin",
    "password":"<Base64 encoded Password>"
}

maybe you tried to use plaintext password instead of base64 encoded?

recommend to use the webconsole-api, one less port open in firewall.

Another issue I stumbled over in the beginning was that /Login gives you a "token"-ReturnValue wiht QSDK Token, but all other APIs expect an "Authtoken"-Field in Header with that Value.

Hi Zion_Assedo,

Are you doing an Unicode Base64 encode of the password, because you must do an ASCII Base64 Encode? For Example, in PowerShell you don't encode like this

$password = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes('MyPassword'))

But rather,

$password = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::Ascii.GetBytes('MyPassword'))

Also, are you using a Domain username and password - if try so try just using a non-LDAP username and password registered in Commvault.

Well, I'm using the string that is generated in the bat file when I ask for a script, it works fine using Qlogin, is it not a base 64 ?

Thanks a lot Anthony, I finally succeed to have my connection !

Yeah that one is not Base64. Would have saved a bit of hassle if it was the same.  When I did my brief test earlier I realised that it was only failing because I had converted my password to unicode. Glad you got in!
