ERROR 0 when trying update policies using API

dmitry_onyschen — Wed, 14 Aug 2019 08:59:30 GMT

I receive error {"error": {"code": "0","message": ""}}

when trying to update policies for PowerBIReports or Folders using API (PUT-request)

I am trying to use:

* python requests module

* python urllib.request

* PowerShell

* Postman

but the result is the same. In this tyme GET and POST requests working correctly in all cases

Please help me solve this problem!

For example here is my PowerShell script:

$username = "bi\Dmitry.on"
$password = "######"
$userpass  = $username + ":" + $password
$bytes= [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($userpass)
$encodedlogin=[Convert]::ToBase64String($bytes)
$authheader = "Basic " + $encodedlogin
$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add("Authorization",$authheader)
$headers.Add("Accept","application/json")
$headers.Add("Content-Type","application/json")
$uri = "http://#######/Reports/api/v2.0/Folders(3c07816e-83a1-4145-904a-b0fd5e92511f)/Policies"

$data_json = '[{"InheritParentPolicy": false,
"Policies": [  {"GroupUserName": "bi\\Dmitry.on","Roles": [  {"Name": "Content Manager", "Description": "May manage content in the Report Server. This includes folders, reports and resources."
  }] }]}]'

$data_converted = ConvertFrom-Json –InputObject $data_json
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Headers $headers -Method PUT -Body $data_converted
Write-Host $response

Here is part of my python script:

headers = {'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data', 'accept': 'application/json'}
data = [
  {"InheritParentPolicy": False,
    "Policies": [
      {"GroupUserName": "bi\\dmitry.on",
        "Roles": [
          {"Name": "Content Manager",
            "Description": "May manage content in the Report Server. This includes folders, reports and resources."
          }]}]}]

v_result = s.put(url, headers=headers, data=data)

Here are errors in RSPortal log:

Sorry but I'm getting the exact same error and still couldn't solve it. I'm doing the PUT request this way:

object[] oArr = new object[] { new { InheritParentPolicy = inheritParentPolicy } }; RestRequest request = new RestRequest(string.Format("/Folders({0})/Policies", itemId), Method.PUT); request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json; request.AddJsonBody(oArr); IRestResponse response = _client.Execute(request);

It's not an Authentication issue or something related as I'm already doing other GET, POST and PUT requests and all is working fin.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot!!
