  • 1.  DeviceGeoTag issue

    Posted Jul 06, 2017 08:01 AM

    We try to use the app Geo-Tag that we found on https://github.com/CA-PM/DeviceGeoTag.
    When we try to add a location we receive an alert message: “Failure: Forbidden”.
    The used account has administrator privileges.
    We tried to open the link (“https://da_hostname:8182/pc/da/rest/devices/775”) with a browser and we received the same message.
    We tried to add the location from a REST client using the URL “http://da_hostname:8581/rest/devices/itemID” and it worked.
    In fact if we open the Geo-Tag app for the device which we inserted the geographic information we can see the fields.

     

    This is the part of the code that gives us the problem:

     

    var thisUrl="/pc/da/rest/devices/" + deviceID;

    var xmlPayload='<Device version="1.0.0">\n' +
      '<Longitude>' + longitude + '</Longitude>\n' +
    '<Latitude>' + latitude + '</Latitude>\n' +
      '<Elevation>0</Elevation>\n' +
      '<LocationDesc>' + locDesc + '</LocationDesc>\n' +
    '</Device>';

     

    $.ajax({
      url: thisUrl,
      type: 'PUT',
      contentType: "application/xml",
      data: xmlPayload,
      success: function(data) {
        alert('Attributes succesfully set.\n'+
        'Please wait for next sync process to view in CAPC or ETL OpenAPI job.');
    },
      error:function(data){
                alert("Failure: " + data.statusText);
            }
    });

     

    Can someone confirm that there is a mistake in the code, or do we have a problem on our side ?

    Thanks,

    Veronique

    Hello Veronique,

    are you using non-admin user in this case? Then a permission is needed. Please see CA PC Apps and User Authorization

    Hi,

    We are using an admin account.

    The problem seems more to be with the URL, Either the protocol (http-https) and/or the port (8182/8581) and/or the path itself (/pc/da/rest/devices versus /rest/devices) .

    Thanks,

    Veronique

    do you use "admin" user or another user with administrative role? By default only "admin" user has access to DA rest via CA PC proxy url /pc/da/rest.

    Ah, ok! We use an account with admin role, not the “admin” account indeed.

    Thanks!

    ok good. I clarified the verbiage in the other article with explicit mention of UserName=admin.
