How can I use token auth "à la Nuxeo Drive" for using the REST API ?

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I would like to use the REST API in a Shibboleth protected application. Our Nuxeo instance is also configured to use Shibboleth with the same Service Provider.

How can I use the Shibboleth credentials so that I can have a token for the current user just like when using Nuxeo Drive ?

There is little documentation about TOKEN AUTH and some things are not clear :

using the drive_login.jsp request works in my brower (redirects to Shib Auth and returns the token in the javascript function drive.create_account)

but using it in an HTTP requester does not work right from the start (401 : needs HTTP AUTH).

Hello,

Does you HTTP client support / is configured for redirect? Indeed, the drive_login.jsp page is protected by the Nuxeo authentication filter which handles the redirection to the authentication page you've configured for the Nuxeo instance, in your case Shibboleth.
