How to get OAuth Token- using Curl command

[mmoayed]

Hi, I want to get back Token id from the Curl command below :

curl -k -u UserName:Password -X POST https://0.0.0.0:8089/services/authorization/tokens

But , I am  getting back :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response>
<messages>
<msg type="ERROR">Unauthorized</msg>
</messages>
</response>

Can anyone help how to resolve this case , what is missing in Curl command or what is wrong ?

Ok,  then You should double check that You are using correct username:password combination  and that the user has Admin role

Well, I think that was related to the policy from Admin that not to use userName and Password and to use the token instead.

Hi, use GET instead of POST

curl -k -u <username>:<password> -X GET https://<server>:<management_port>/services/authorization/tokens
