Authorization Problems

[Ghost]

Hello Friends,

I need help with Authorization using the API URL on the current beta version of Domoticz. I have spent lots of hours with that but I just do not succeed in get authorized.

The quite simple Python script I try to get run is:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys
import urllib
import urllib2
import base64

sensor_idx  = 16
url = "http://192.168.178.32:8080"
url_json = url + "/json.htm"

cpuTemp = int(open('/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp').read()) / 1000.0

cmd = url_json + "?" + "type=command&param=udevice&idx=" + str(sensor_idx) + "&nvalue=0&svalue=" + str(cpuTemp)
 
print cmd 
 
base64string = base64.encodestring('%s:%s' % ("LOGIN", "PASSWORD")).replace('\n', '')

request = urllib2.Request(cmd)
request.add_header("Authorization", "Basic %s" % base64string)  
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
print response.read()

192.168.178.32 is the IP of the Raspberry Pi 3 on which Domoticz is running.

The user LOGIN is added on "Setup" -> "More options" -> "Edit users" and has admin rights on all devices.

In "Setup" -> "Settings" I have tried out a lot of settings. Allowed everything. Entered different credentials and cleared them completely. Added 192.168.178.32 and 127.0.0.1 (and submasks) to "Local Networks (no username/password):"

But nothing helps! When i type on SSH:

Code: Select all

sudo python cpu_temperature.py

I get:

Code: Select all

http://192.168.178.32:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=1&nvalue=0&svalue=48
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "cpu_temperature.py", line 33, in <module>
    response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 154, in urlopen
    return opener.open(url, data, timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 435, in open
    response = meth(req, response)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 548, in http_response
    'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 473, in error
    return self._call_chain(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 407, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 556, in http_error_default
    raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized

The other way of authorization according to Wiki (with URL containing encoded User and Password) produces the same result.

When I type the link (http://192.168.178.32:8080/json.htm?typ ... &svalue=48) in most cases everything works fine. But sometimes I get "401 Unauthorized" too.

I have tried to delete and install Domoticz again. I have not changed any settings after the installation. And it worked! With SSH and as crontab. But only till a restart of Raspberry Pi 3. Afterwards it is the same: "401 Unauthorized"...

I would be very grateful for every hint.

I have the same problem

have you tried:
url = "http://user:[email protected]:8080"

or enter the ip address in the whitelist unser settings?

if the script runs on the same hardware of domoticz try using 127.0.0.1 as ip address

I have the same problem.
Even if i directly type the [url]http://username:password@ip:port>/json.htm?api-call[/url] to the browser I get an Err back....
Is this a bug?

I'm seeing the same thing now. json api sending unauthorized until I go in to settings and press "save". After this api works great until next reboot.
