Hi all,

Im trying to access the API from PostMan, but  getting the error 401. My question is the user / pass this should be the user I use to connect to the URL or I have to user the API cliente?

thanks.

Hi @Juraj.Papic ,

There are several ways you can connect but i believe you are connecting using your local userID and pwd.

In that case, please make sure you use userID as "user@customer1" instead of just user.

Here customer1 is default tenant that gets created while cluster setup but if this doesn't work then check with your administrator the account name (tenant) if they changed from customer1 to something else.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
VVS

Hi Juraj

Preferably you should be using the API client with Oauth2, however some of the API's also allow basic auth with username password.

You did not provide the API you are trying to connect to as well as your authentication method., so unsure of what the problem might be.

Ciao
