API usage not possible

olegbrendel. · 2019-01-21 19:35:42

HI,

following up on that one:
https : // github . com/glpi-project/glpi/issues/5282

We run with httpS and have self signed certificate but all the documentation always uses http in the API

Is it even possible to use the API with httpS with self signed cert?

What you said on Github that URL is wrong..we have double checked it several times..

Jean-Christophe · 2019-01-22 10:32:16

Could you please elaborate?
I use the API via HTTPS without any problem.

The self signed certificate is not a problem as soon as it is trusted. This has to be managed in your operating system. Nothing to do with the API.

I am trying to run the examples from the beginning of Github API rest documentation of GLPI

And I cannot get back the session_token

- there are two remote access keys in my GLPI personal settings "Personal token" and "API token". I tried with both and it does not work
- I tried with restriction IP range and App_Token and without that, no success

This is what I get in return using the curl command

HI,
glpiversion ?

is API enabled ( setup>general>general setup>api (tab) ?

are you Calling myserver/glpi/apirest.php ? ( it looks like curl returns glpi login page and not apirest.php)

olegbrendel. · 2019-01-22 12:31:41

//Version
GLPI 9.3.1

//is API enabled ( setup>general>general setup>api (tab) ?
Yes, Enable Rest API is set to Yes

//are you Calling myserver/glpi/apirest.php ? ( it looks like curl returns glpi login page and not apirest.php)

I was calling myserver/apirest.php <--like it says in the documentation

Now I tried myserver/glpi/apirest.php <-- and changed it also in the settings before trying

But I get the same response.

May it be that the file does not exist on the server itself?

Jean-Christophe · 2019-01-22 13:59:27

do you have any reverse proxy between you and your server?
do you have any specific virtual host defined at your web server level?
when you try to access the apirest.php from your client computer, you should get the API Help page. Does it work?

olegbrendel. · 2019-01-22 14:19:34

Thanks for the tips. Will check this with my team, right now my answer would be: no proxy, no virtual host

When accessing from my computer

https://myserver/glpi/apirest.php/ gives me a blank white web page and in Chrome webtools I see it returns http 302 (found)

https://myserver/apirest.php/ is redirecting me to the homepage of my GLPI https://myserver/front/central.php

Jean-Christophe · 2019-01-22 14:24:38

Do you access the glpi home page via https://myserver/glpi or https://myserver ?
When you browse the home page of glpi, juste add /apirest.php and it should work.

I do not remember having to do anything special for it to work (enable it in settings, of course) :-/

LaDenrée · 2019-01-22 15:09:43

check setup>general>system if some extensions are missing (ie curl)

olegbrendel. · 2019-01-22 15:17:27

Yes there are many including curl installed

I think it is something with auth because I am getting the same response when I just curl this root site

curl --insecure https://myserver/

I am getting this sam auth page back in terminal..

will try some more.. thank you for quick support

olegbrendel. · 2019-01-22 15:24:27

Can you just tell which of the personal user token is to be used?

"Personal token" or "API token" from my own personal settings

LaDenrée · 2019-01-22 15:32:20

you Don't need token to test if api is working ( go to myserver\glpi\apirest.php)

if you want to login using token : use API token for user and Application token (app_token) from setup>general>api>api clients => then you should get session token

olegbrendel. · 2019-01-22 16:01:57

I think I call the API in a good way now

but

<p>You must activate the JavaScript function of your browser</p>

Is part of the response in Postman and Terminal (Curl)

Without really knowing what the code does it looks to me that it tries to retrieve or calculate my session token and at some point it returns me to enable JS

???!

olegbrendel. · 2019-01-28 11:51:59

still having trouble with the API
it always returns our servers GLPI loginpage - no matter what I try with Authorization

any help pls?

fneto · 2022-12-16 20:27:11

I'm facing the sane issue with GLPI 10.05, do you have any fix for this problem?

Please open a new topic with details about what you are trying.
