401 Unauthorized

[Ashley Vercammen]

I'm having some trouble with almost all GET requests via the Veeam API.

I was able to set up the source successfully, and store the access token for the session, I using the Veeam API call "api/v1/serverinfo" for the connection test successfully.

However, when I try to set up any other requests apart from to "api/v1/serverinfo" it throws back a "401 unauthorized" response.

I know I have everything configured correctly and I am able to successfully get a response from only "api/v1/serverinfo" but literally every other GET request fails via MP Builder and is successful via Postman.

I am running MP Builder 1.1.3 (acquired via our TAM to fix a separate issue).

Could this be an MP Builder bug?

Hi,

"401 unauthorized" indicates a problem with the token or, more precisely, how the token is retrieved, stored in a variable, and used in subsequent requests. Can you post a few screenshots showing the authentication configuration? Both for the token acquisition call and one of the subsequent calls.

Hi Thomas,

After some further testing when getting screenshots I figured out the issue, I added "bearer" to the global variable for the Authorization header and it seems to be working now.

Very strange as the /api/v1/serverinfo call works without the "bearer" word inserted and just the access key variable, but looks like other requests require "bearer" to be added...

Hi,

Glad that you could resolve it.

I don't have a Veeam environment here but according to this documentation (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vbr_rest/requesting_authorization.html?ver=120) the Authorization has to include the Bearer statement, which is a very common authorization.

Authorization:Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzUxM....

Best regards,
