Dashboard authentication prompts with REST
I may not be doing effective searches in the documention or forum but I am looking for a way via REST where I can have a program or user bypass authentication prompts when accessing certain dashboards. Can this be done? Is there an example somewhere?
Hi John,
You may find what you need here with this link Server REST Interfaces#AuthenticationandAuthorization.
This example is from the License Count Plugin,
log.finer("Entering username/password setup");
String userpass = username + ":" + password;
String basicAuth = "Basic " + javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary(userpass.getBytes());
disableCertificateValidation();
//URL to grab XML file
log.finer("Entering XML file grab");
connection = overviewurl.openConnection();
connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", basicAuth);
connection.setConnectTimeout(50000);
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
David
