Subscription API usage

I am trying to use the API described here: (https://developer.khoros.com/khoroscommunitydevdocs/docs/subscribe-to-community-events). This feature is already enabled on stage and production environments.

I created an admin user with the necessary API rights. I tried to authenticate this user using the sessions key option as described here: https://developer.khoros.com/khoroscommunitydevdocs/docs/session-key using postman. I got a 502 Bad Gateway response.

Do I need to enable CORS and whitelist IPs as described here: https://developer.khoros.com/khoroscommunitydevdocs/docs/getting-started-with-api-1 too?

    Hi,

    I have done the login call in an vuejs component like this:

    axios({
      method: 'get',
      url: '/restapi/vc/authentication/sessions/login',
      params: {
        'user.login': username,
        'user.password': password,
        'restapi.response_format': 'json'
      }
    })
    .then(response => {
      if (response.data.response.status == 'success') {
        this.authToken = response.data.response.value.$;
      }
    })

     

    Keep in mind that this will not work with users managed by an external IDP/Login system.
