Getting an error while generating the session key through URL??

hi neel_psl

you need to do a HTTP POST request, not an HTTP GET.

I'm facing the same issue. If I try a POST instead, I'm getting this :

<response status="error">
<error code="302">
<message>
User authentication failed.
</message>
</error>
</response>

Any idea why?

Hi abmpu

Here's an example curl request for session key generation:

curl -XPOST 'https://yourcommunity.com/restapi/vc/authentication/sessions/login?user.login=<login>&user.password=<password>'

response is in this format  

<response status="success">
 <value type="string">NO-1sPyPINXCQUDnQLjxcHnYVgyxF-qE5xIHlyUQzDU.</value>
</response>

when you are facing below error message may be you are giving wrong credential

please check your username and password once

<response status="error">
   <error code="302">
        <message>User authentication failed.</message>
   </error>
</response>

please refer https://community.lithium.com/t5/Developer-Documentation/bd-p/dev-doc-portal?section=sessionauth this link for reference

The issue here was that the user was not a native lithium user.

abmpu Can you clarify what you mean by "native lithium user"? I'm experiencing the exact symptoms as you described above (the GET error and the POST error). This is a user account that's been working for a long time and suddenly stopped working.
