Share webscript 401 authentication issue

[muralidharand]

Hi experts,

I've developed a Repository post webscript without any authentication(i.e) <authentication>none</none>. Now, I want call this webscript from my share application,but I'm always hitting 401 error.

<webscript>
  <shortname>demo</shortname>
  <description>demo webscript</description>
  <url>/api/com/mywebscript/demo</url>
  <format default="json"/>
  <authentication>none</authentication>
  <transaction>required</transaction>
</webscript>



Alfresco.util.Ajax.request(
{
   url: Alfresco.constants.PROXY_URI +"api/com/mywebscript/demo",
   method: Alfresco.util.Ajax.POST,
   dataObj: dataobj,
   requestContentType: Alfresco.util.Ajax.JSON 
});
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

If I hardcode the webscript URL, then it is working.

Alfresco.util.Ajax.request(
{
   url: "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/api/com/mywebscript/demo",
   method: Alfresco.util.Ajax.POST,
   dataObj: dataobj,
   requestContentType: Alfresco.util.Ajax.JSON 
});

So, I wanted to know, how I can call webscript without any authentication?

I tried to look into api/login webscript, but I couldn't get much information from share application side.

Hello,

you can't use the regular "alfresco" proxy, since this is always an authenticated one. Instead, use the "alfresco-noauth" proxy, i.e. "http://localhost:8080/share/proxy/alfresco-noauth/api/com/mywebscript/demo".

Hi Axel,
Thanks for your suggestion.
Now, I'm able to call my webscript without any authentication.

Thanks once again.

Yes, like Alex said, share proxy url is authenticated. I've ran into the same issue recently. Use no-auth or a direct URL like that (which is clumsy).
