Create a custom javascript login page for Isolated mode deployed application

[Erwan_]

How can I create a custom Javascript login page, that will allow to connect the user to the Nuxeo platform ? I can't find any appropriate method in the API playground.

Do you mean that you have a javascript application and you would like it to handle an authentication toke, to avoid having to authenticate each requests with username / password ? what do you mean by "isolated mode deployed"?

I was refering to “isolated mode deployed” because of the deployment method proposed in the deployment section of the following page

From what I can see, there is no authentication endpoint in the REST API, but the calls use basic authentication according to https://doc.nuxeo.com/nxdoc/request-authentication/, so you would pass username and password in each request. I would also prefer to get a token instead of basic authentication for each API call, however, the latter should work as well for the moment.

You can create/test your login by making a dummy request to

GET http://192.168.99.100:32769/nuxeo/api/v1/user/Administrator

for example, which will then either return a 401 or a 200 status, if you pass the correct username and password.

Looking at the API explorer in my Nuxeo instance, I see that there is a token endpoint, not sure yet how to use it: GET http://192.168.99.100:32769/nuxeo/api/v1/token since you need to pass device id, application, permissions to it. (The Nuxeo mobile app seems to be using this approach). But this might be an alternative way.
