Hi,

If you are uploading file from share then username and password is not required.

Other thing you can do is pass ticket with that api.

Thanks,

Sanjay

Thank you for the reply Sanjay.

Yes, I did find a api which would get me the ticket. But to generate the ticket, User Name and Password parameters are required.

Below is the api which I found to generate ticket.

GET /alfresco/s/api/login?u={username}&pw={password?}

Is there any-other way I could get the session ticket ?

Hi,

You can get ticket like this way.

Creare repository side webscript and and call that webscript from share.

## ticket.get.desc.xml
<webscript>
<shortname>Get current ticket</shortname>
<description>Get current ticket</description>
<url>/auth/get-ticket</url>
<format default="json">extension</format>
<authentication>user</authentication>
</webscript>
## ticket.get.json.ftl
{
"ticket": "${sessionticket.ticket}"
}

Hi Sanjay,

Sorry for coming back late. Thank you for the help. I did write a webscript to get a ticket and used that ticket along with the REST api to upload the file. It worked fine.
