@grahanam. 401 means that you are not authenticated which means that the user name and password that you had supplied is not recognized by the API server. Can you describe how you are testing the API ?

Thanks crazyrov.

We are using curl command to test the Networker API call. we are passing credentials as base 64 encoded username:password as follows:

curl -H "Authorization:Basic [base 64 string of username:password]" "https://networkerserver:9090/nwrestapi/v2/global/protectiongroups" -k -1

Error:

2019-12-08 18:19:40.136 INFO [https-jsse-nio-9090-exec-7] c.e.n.w.WebApiRequest - Request method 'GET', URL 'v3/global/protectiongroups
2019-12-08 18:19:40.146 INFO [https-jsse-nio-9090-exec-7] c.e.n.w.WebApiResponse - Response status Method: 'GET', URI:'v3/global/protectiongroups', Status '401'

With same credentials we are able to login to the NMC web console and do all the required operations.

When we tried to browse the url "https://networkerserver:9090/nwrestapi/v2/global/protectiongroups" and tried to login with same credentails, it is failing and in log showing 401 error.

Are we missing any access permission to service account wrt to Networker REST API .

Please suggest

Hi @grahanam  How did you add your account into the Networker. Is it appearing in the setup-users tab.

Actually I am able to access the Networker API using the account which I use to log into the Networker.

Please try again. Use get method and proper uri, you should be able to get this.

Thanks,
