Invoke share webscript from external software in a authenticated way

[3acascia]

Hi All,

is it possibile to invoke custom web script from external software in a authenticated way?
How to deal with authentication mechanism?
As I understood, Alf_ticket seems to be not recognized from Share…
Is cookie (JSESSIONID) the only allowed mechanism?

Thanks in advances,
Toma

Hi,

it depends what you try to do. You can use SSO with NTLM or Kerberos, or obtain a ticket via the http://alfrescoserver/alfresco/s/api/login API, but in that case you need the password.
What you want is the ticket, not necessarily the JSESSIONID.

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Michael,
thanks you for your reply.
What I want to try to do, is call a site-webscript declared in Share in an authenticated way using alf_ticket obtained invoking http://alfrescoserver/alfresco/s/api/login.
It seems that it doesn't work…

Thanks in advance,
Toma

Hi Toma,

does this work:

1. call:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/login?u=admin&pw=admin

2. extract the ticket (looks like TICKET_29ced6613a114294fa4bb9e67bf663112076f3d9)

3. validate the ticket: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/login/ticket/TICKET_29ced6613a114294fa4bb9e67bf663112076f...

Do you get 200/OK response? Can you call other repository webscripts with that ticket?

Best regards,
