json url with username and password Topic is solved

[Rebecca]

In domoticz, I created a virtual switch, and set on action to trigger another virtual switch to turn on using json. Something like: http://192.168.1.2:8080/json.htm?type=c ... &svalue=79.

After I added username and password, this url is of course not working anymore.

Following the instructions in https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Domoticz_API/JSON_URL%27s, I tried:
- http://<user:pwd>@hostname
- http://domoticz-ip<:port>/json.htm?username=<encrypted username>&password=<encrypted pwd>&api-call

But both of the methods give me a 401 unauthorized error.

Somebody could help here?

- http://domoticz-ip<:port>/json.htm?username=<encrypted username>&password=<encrypted pwd>&api-call

But both of the methods give me a 401 unauthorized error.

Below call works for me

Code: Select all

How did you configure your website protection? Mine is

I configure the website protection the same as yours.

I configure the website protection the same as yours.

And does this user have admin rights?

Indeed, this was the problem. I added the user as admin, and now it works. Thanks a lot!

I have the same issue, tried both auth types... with and without admin rights on the user....

My local access works... my access using the same URL's from my phone (not on my wifi) works fine....

using the same auth either from ifttt or friends in another country does not work... 401 error

Not too sure what else to try - it used to work before (granted a long time ago - and I am only looking at it now)
So something must have changed in how domoticz handles these json url's, or its security then?
