Hello,
I have an API whose authentication is only done by user/password: basic authentication.
How can I translate this into the json file?
Knowing that I only want to provide the user and password, and not the base64 encoding of user/password in the header.
Page 1 / 1
A clarification:
Curl example using the RedHat Satellite API:
curl -X GET -s -k -u sat_username:sat_password https://satellite6.example.com/api/v2/

In json file, how can i build this header with:
Authorization: Basic dXNlcl9zdXBlcnZpc2lvbjpNY1VBSG41UGxadjZ6a0JSYlRlc2ZRto the right of Basic we have a base64 of the string username:password
Thanks
Hi! You should use this syntax:
{
"http": {
"requests": [
{
"name": "endpoint",
"hostname": "1.2.3.4",
"authorization": {
"username": "myuser",
"password": "mypass"
}
}
]
}
}
hello,
It does’nt work.
My json file :
"http": {
"requests": e
{
"name": "tasksRequest",
"hostname": "%(constants.hostname)",
"proto": "%(constants.protocol)",
"port": "%(constants.port)",
"endpoint": "/%(constants.customPath)/tasks?per_page=1000",
"authorization": {
"username": "user_supervision",
"password": "testsupervision"
},
"timeout": 30,
"backend": "curl",
"rtype": "json",
"parse": "
{
"name": "entries",
"type": "body",
"path": "$.results
"entries": /
{"id": "id"},
{"id": "label"},
{"id": "result"},
{"id": "start_at"}
]
}
]
}
]
},
My command line :
usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_protocol_http.pl --plugin=apps::protocols::http::plugin --mode collection --config='satellite-tasks-http-collection2.json' --constant='hostname=satellite-connected.cnamts.admtangers' --constant='days=0' --debug

I think the centreon_protocol_http.pl plugin does not handle "authorization"
