Override site-index.jsp - Script Auth issues

[augustodelucena]

Hello!

I want to override the site-index.jsp by changing it redirection option from the user dashboard to the site which the user is a member of, as I saw here:

https://forums.alfresco.com/comment/136003#comment-136003

I created my custom-site-index.jsp to test it following several guides/tutorials on the web but I can't get it to work due to an 401 error (Server returned HTTP response code: 401).
I read everywhere that I need to have an authentication(ticket/token) to be able to call the people API. However, I don't have any clue on how to get access to the People API.

How do I get access to the People API and is it possible to do what I want with the code below? 

Thanks in advance!

Edit:
I found that I can generate my ticket using this URL: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/login?u=admin&pw=admin

I used then the code above although it didn't work either.

String ticket = "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/login?u=admin&pw=admin";
String url = "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/people/" + userid + "/sites?alf_ticket="+ticket;

Is it supposed to work that way?
