RestAPI returns 401

Anonymous — Tue, 12 Nov 2019 00:29:11 GMT

I can log to the web UI with http://..../Reports authenticating with my AD creds.

However If I try to run this on postman (Using basic auth with my ad creds) it returns 401. Is there something I need to enable or set in order to use the api?

What do you see in the www-authenticate header of the 401 reply in postman? If you see NTLM I think this means that you have WindowsAuth configured for your server and it's basically telling you that the basic auth was rejected and it wants you to use NTLM.

Postman has beta support for NTLM auth, I was able to use this to put in my username/password and get a valid response.
