Alfresco 5.0.d site creation - error.loggedOut

[jamalissimo]

Hi guys,

I am working on Alfresco shared site creation. I want to use REST API, but I keep stumbling on various problems. The first and main issue is which interface to use??? I am reading forums and googling for 2 days and I found like 4 interfaces and none of them works properly:

<ul>/wcservice/api/sites - doesn't work at all</ul>
<ul>/s/api/sites - doesn't work at all</ul>
<ul>/alfresco/service/api - works, but only creates site and nothing else</ul>
<ul>/share/service/modules/create-site - should be the one to use</ul>

So I started to discover secrets of shared site creation. First mystery was to find what the json body looks like. I found this, but I am not sure if it is correct:

{
    "sitePreset": "site-dashboard",
    "shortName": "Sandbox",
    "title": "Sandbox site",
    "description": "This is a Sandbox site.",
    "visibility": "PRIVATE",
    "isVisible" : "false",
    "id" : "SANDBOX"
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This kind of worked, but I received error json with message error.loggedOut.
Ok, no problem, I will just log in here /alfresco/service/api/login, ok I have the ticket ,,, and what??? Where should I put the ticket? It is very unclear and nowhere to be found. Someone says put it to json like this:

{
    "sitePreset": "site-dashboard",
    "shortName": "Sandbox",
    "title": "Sandbox site",
    "description": "This is a Sandbox site.",
    "visibility": "PRIVATE",
    "ticket":"TICKET_b80585cc24547951d13c9c5df16fe0957d4a11df"
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

It does not work! Then some says "put it as parameter alf_ticket, ticket or alfTicket" like this:

<ul>/share/service/modules/create-site?ticket=TICKET_b80585cc24547951d13c9c5df16fe0957d4a11df</ul>
or
<ul>/share/service/modules/create-site?alf_ticket=TICKET_b80585cc24547951d13c9c5df16fe0957d4a11df</ul>
or
<ul>/share/service/modules/create-site?alfTicket=TICKET_b80585cc24547951d13c9c5df16fe0957d4a11df</ul>

This does not work either and I keep getting this error json:

{
  "status": {
    "code": 401,
    "name": "Unauthorized",
    "description": "The request requires HTTP authentication."
  },
  "message": "error.loggedOut",
  "exception": "",
  "callstack": [],
  "server": "Spring WebScripts - v5.0.0 (Release) schema 1 000",
  "time": "3.9.2015 10:42:27"
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Could someone please tell me how to create shared site or point me somewhere atleast?

Thanks

From my point of view it looks like an authorization problem. I can successfully log in and get the ticket. I also can verify the ticket but when I use it as alf_ticket, then I get 401 unauthorized.

This is the http request I use:

POST /share/service/modules/create-site?alf_ticket=TICKET_a5f07642716f12cdee2e4904b6ad6deb2ac8aa16 HTTP/1.1

{
    "sitePreset": "site-dashboard",
    "shortName": "Sandbox",
    "title": "Sandbox prettyname",
    "description": "Sandbox",
    "visibility": "PRIVATE"
  }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Can somebody give me some advice please?

Thanks
