How to call authenticated web scripts

sgartner

I have enabled the remote object in my Alfresco and so I can call external and internal URLs from my web script like this:

var tabWebScriptUrl = "/authenticatedTabs";

// Initiate a remote connector
var connector = remote.connect("alfresco");

try
  {
    // Get the tabs
    var result = connector.call(tabWebScriptUrl);

    // Process the service return
    if (result !== null)
      {
        model.tabResults = result.toString();
      }
  }
catch (err)
  {
    logger.log("Failure to load tabs from url (" + tabWebScriptUrl + "): " + err.message);
  }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The problem is that it is only calling the web scripts with the "service" authentication methodology instead of "wcservice" that we are using. I can't seem to figure out how to call these scripts in a way that will allow them to access the user's information. Here is the error that I'm getting:

The Web Script /alfresco/s/authenticatedTabs has responded with a status of 401 - Unauthorized.

Does anyone know how to get it to work with authenticated scripts (<authentication>user</authentication>)?

Thanks,

I believe you need to pass a ticket on your url. Add "?ticket=ticketinformation" to the end of the url. You get the ticket information in javascript: var ticket = session.getTicket()

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately this didn't change the behavior at all.

Here is the URL that I'm building:
/authenticatedTabs?guest=false&ticket=TICKET_89ee48cb97ce2b18291e67c4b2a42a0bfdee3575&selectedTab=home

Here is the URL that connect is trying:
http

/localhost:8080/alfresco/s/authenticatedTabs?guest=false&ticket=TICKET_89ee48cb97ce2b18291e67c4b2a42a0bfdee3575&selectedTab=home&guest=true

You can see that I tried adding guest=false to the URL to try to stop it from adding guest=true to the end, but it didn't affect it at all.

One thing to try… alf_ticket=ticketinformation instead of ticket=…..

I've seen references to one being valid in some circumstances. For /service, alf_ticket may work. Not sure, but worth a try. I usually put the ticket parameter at the end of the url….

This was the, uh, ticket! Thank you Steve! I was able to give you two points for both useful messages.

One addition that I discovered however, is that I do have to add guest=false to the url as well as the alf_ticket. If I just have the alf_ticket on there I get the following error:

Web Script ui_templates/authenticatedTabs.get requires user authentication; however, a guest has attempted access.
