CA RA 5.5 REST API Action Authentication

[tdallmann]

Does someone have an example of using the REST Operation action to call the CA RA REST API?  I am attempting to call the get-artifact-versions operation, and I keep getting a "Not Authenticated" error. 

 

Here are my action parameters:

URI: [_CARA_REST_URL_Base]/get-artifact-versions

Rest Verb: POST

Expected Code: 200

Parameters:

   application:JMApp

   artifactType:GWImport

   artifactDefinition:PCAdminPatch

Include HTTP Headers In Response:  (no value)

Authentication Method: BASIC

Domain  (no value)

Realm (no value)

User name: Superuser

Password: xxxxx 

Use Preemptive authentication: false

 

I am not currently running the action as any specific user, though I also tried this running as my CA RA service account and got the same result. 

 

Would appreciate any help ...   Thanks!

Can you change "Use Preemptive authentication" to true and try again?

if you enable preemptive auth, do you get the same result?

Preemptive auth was the ticket!  Thanks to both of you that suggested it.

 

Also for those that may see this in the future, using the parameters array field does not work. I instead built the JSON package into the body as {"application":"JMApp","artifactType":"GWImportFile","artifactDefinition":"PCAdminImport"}
