Remote WebScripts invocation of Alfresco in Android App.

[suryabadami]

I am tring to invoke WebScript in Alfresco remotely using the URL http://192.168.1.2:8080/alfresco/service/sample/folder/Company%20Home and the url will promth me with the authentication window allowing me to entire the username and password. This invocation works completely fine in the Browser..

Followed the steps described in the alfresco : http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts

But when im tring to do the same in android app using webview im facing Authentication Error (HTTP Status 401-Error) and its not promthing me with the authentication window..

Please help me regarding this. Thanks

Hi,

You first need to log in and get a ticket, then request the webscript using the ticket.

In order to log in with a username and password the webscript you have to call is http://yourhost:yourport/alfresco/service/api/login?u={username}&pw={password?}

Once you have the ticket you just need to append it to your webscript call by adding the alf_ticket parameter this way:

http://192.168.1.2:8080/alfresco/service/sample/folder/Company%20Home?alf_ticket=whatever_you_get_in...

Hope this helps…
