Authentication issues
Hey All,
I am having an issue when it comes to authentication. I am trying to pass in credentials through a query post like it mentions in the documentation. I am doing all of this with a REST client from here. I have tried passing it in with the parameters and I have tried as basic authentication with no luck. I am working from within a stage environment and I am trying to access the metrics of a board between certain times.
Can anyone offer any assistance as I am currently stuck on the authentication.
You're right, to create a Lithium Registration account in production, the best approach would be to have our support team create it there. I proposed the alternative for stage because it's likely quicker and easier.
Lithium SSO tokens are not generated by the communication application. There is a separate Lithium SSO library that your company would have installed on their servers to generate these SSO tokens. You would need to obtain the SSO token for your account via that Library.
Once you've authenticated and obtained the session key, you can pass it to subsequent requests via the restapi.session_key query string parameter. See the index page of the JavaDocs for additional information on REST API session keys.
