OH3 - rest api http request with authentication

[der_micha (Michael)]

Hi,
in OH 2.5x i have a rule to check if bindings are online or offline, for example:

when
Thing "innogysmarthome:bridge:SMARTHOME09" received update or
System started
then
var response = sendHttpGetRequest("http://xxx.xxx.xxxx.x:8080/rest/things/innogysmarthome:bridge:SMARTHOME09")
var String status= transform("JSONPATH", "statusInfo.status", response)
Innogy_Status.postUpdate(status)

When i try this in OH3, i get the following error:

{“error”:{“message”:“Authentication required”,“http-code”:401}}

How can i submit my user credentials in a rule in OH3?
I tried http://user:password@xxx.xxx.xxx.x but this didn’t work.

Thanks in advance for any help.

This might solve your issues

I tried http://user:password@xxx.xxx.xxx.x but this didn’t work.

If you want to use Basic auth you have to enable it in the settings.

[der_micha (Michael)]

Thanks, but Basic Authentication is already enabled:

[Spaceman_Spiff (Sebastian)]

I wrote nonsense. Ignore this post.

Struggling with the same issue.

• checked basic authentication
• unchecked ‘implicite user role’

FF is now concerned that I send a user:password, and even though confirming that this is ok,
I receive also,

{"error":{"message":"Authentication required","http-code":401}}

[Spaceman_Spiff (Sebastian)]

Can you show the request you are making (with dummy pw/user)?
If it is in the form http://user:pw@oh_host:oh_port/rest.. it should definitely work

[opus (Jürgen Baginski)]

I’m using Basic Authentication and have the “Impicit user role…” checked to ON. With those settings my REST calls via a rule are working!

[Spaceman_Spiff (Sebastian)]

@opus

With those settings my REST calls via a rule are working!

Yes - it works and correct setting is implicit user role to on.
Sorry - I was confused.

The problem is probably a typo in the url

[der_micha (Michael)]

I still get the error:

{“error”:{“message”:“Authentication required”,“http-code”:401}}

My request:

sendHttpGetRequest(“http://user:password@192.168.0.48:8080/rest/things/innogysmarthome:bridge:xxx”)

What could be wrong with this url? In OH 2.5 this is working fine (without user credentials).

Hi, i changed to oh3 and now my rest api ist not working anymore.

My doorphone is sending a command to oh and then oh opens the door:

Action URL inside my doorphone:

http://192.168.1.99:8080/classicui/CMD?RFID_uid_haustuer=$card_sn

I also added user and password like this, but no success. I get no error messages inside my log. Simply not working…

http://192.168.1.99:8080/classicui/CMD?RFID_uid_haustuer=$card_sn -u {oh3_adminuser}:{oh3password}

I activated basic authentication in “API-Sicherheit” inside OH3 Settings.
oh3_adminuser is the user/pass of the new admin user i made while upgrading to oh3 on first run.

/classicui/CMD?

This is an undocumented usage. Or rather, was an undocumented usage in OH2, doesn’t exist in OH3

See

Replacement of classicui/CMD

Hello there, in OH2 I´ve used to use classicui/CMD pass an String-Value to an Item via HTTP GET Request like http://192.168.X.X:8080/classicui/CMD?String=VAR How can this be done in OH3? I have already made several attempts with the HTTP binding, unfortunately unsuccessful. Manipulating the Var with curl works but I need to to this by user clicking on a URL. Thank you very much!

I made some tests: When i change classicui to basicui it is still working.

I managed to make this to work in rules, however I’m not happy with hard coded username/password in rules file. Is there a better solution?
