OH3 API Access without Auth

[Chura (CR)]

Hi,

Upgraded to OH3 and enjoying it, still some learning curve.
Some of my other systems has issue connecting to the API, due to authentication required.
Blue Iris, Node-red won’t work for me, tried enabling basic auth and using user:pass@ip but its not working.

Can I disable auth for API completely ?

Newest versions permit Basic Auth if enabled. I am starting to test that now with HABapp.

Or you can create an authorisation token as explained by Yannick here HABApp - Easy automation with openHAB

Works fine in HABApp in my local testing (Milestone 2)

I have M2, and enable basic auth. however when I try to use it in Blue Iris for example, it wont work part of the URL (http://user:pass@/rest

I did create token, how can I use it part of the URL/URI ?

[nick_wootton]

I’m just using it instead of the username & password combo - the username is the token string in my HABApp config and no password is then needed.

Cool, Tried now http://token@ in blue iris alerts and its working !

It worked for Blue Iris. but for Node-red its not exactly working.
Seems like it can read the data once, but won’t get updates or something

and in the logs from node-red
