The code I've used is abstracted Java (ColdFusion), but also Websphere middleware (CastIron - so also Java) and just plain dropping the URL into a browser.
It does the same thing, regardless which is either a GET:
http://xxx.xxx.com/restapi/vc/authentication/sessions/login?user.login=xxLoginNamexx&usern.password=xxPasswordxx
[EDIT: Fixed Typo in Link above to represent what I'm actually doing (it had wrong querystring names)]
or a POST with login and password sent as form fields instead of querystring. According to the docs, this should work, but it doesn't. With the same creds I can log in to the community via browser and execute REST which works for about 75% of my needs, but I need message bodies for a thread, so want to loop through programmatically. If not...it's download each one at a time, which is time consuming and tedious, but possible.
- I suspect it's a setting somewhere or something configuration-wise that I'm not getting, but I haven't found anything beyond what i've tried and don't see how to get to the log files that would give me stack traces or more detailed information.
Hi Anthony,
Here is a link to the REST documentation for the authentication/sessions/login call:
It looks like you are using username.login instead of user.login and username.password instead of user.password -- I think that may be your issue.
