401 Unauthorized Error when accessing a task from REST API which contains Role or Privilege in Access Control definition

Hi Team,
As of IDM 7.2 SP8 patch2, when we use Enterprise role or Privilege in the access control definition of a task, accessing this task from UI5 i.e REST API is giving unauthorized error even though user is already having the required role or privilege.
But the task is working fine if we use fixed user ID or keeping blank value in allowed users field.
Attached the current access control definition of the task we configured & the error message info for reference

Venkata Bavirisetty

Hi Ralitsa,
Thanks for your response and sorry for late reply.
The XXXX in role is not used as a wild card. the name itself is in that format. I have searched the role and then selected from search list.
Let me know if you need any clarifications?

How to access a sharepoint site via the REST API in Python?

I have the following site:
http://win-5a8pp4v402g/sharepoint_test/site_1/
When I access this from the browser, it prompts me for the username and password and then works fine. However I am trying to do the same using the REST API in Python. I am using the requests library, and this is what I have done:
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
USERNAME = "Administrator"
PASSWORD = "password"
response = requests.get("http://win-5a8pp4v402g/", auth=HTTPBasicAuth(USERNAME, PASSWORD))
print response.status_code
However I get a 401. I dont understand. What am I missing?

Try adding the auhenticatig domain to the username. That may help.

Azure table storage rest API including

How do I access my table storage using REST API.
Any example would be appreciated including enabling REST API.

Hi,
Please have a look at this article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tconte/archive/2011/08/10/accessing-windows-azure-blob-storage-using-jquery.aspx, hope it helps. We could also consider use
Jquery to call codebehind to do some operation about Azure table storeage, if so we could choose azure SDK or azure storage rest API to do this.

How to import the JSON data that comes from REST API into Excel 2013?

HI,
Is there a way to import the JSON data that REST API returns into Excel 2013? If so how?
Could you please let me know this?
If you need to know any more info please let me know.
Thanks,
Vinay

I got this. We need to use power query add in for this.
EXCEL 2013 -> POWER QUERY -> From Web
Enter the URL for the REST end point and click ok. Power Query editor will show up with the URL and list of your data.
click on the list -> Right click->drill down
You will see the no of records the API returned.
Right Click on List in that table -> To Table and say ok in the next dialog.
On the displayed columns, there will be a double sided arrow, click on that and select the rows you want to import.
There you go. You will all the data.
Click on Apply and close. This will import the data into your excel file.

Streaming basics - reading large file from RESTful API

Hey all -
My command of PowerShell is pretty rudimentary, though I have written a number of scripts. In a recent example, I was trying to redirect the output of my firm's RESTful API - a small .txt file - into a file, using | out-file <path and
file>. THat worked
just fine. However, when I tried to do this with a docx or pdf file, the result was that I ended up with a small file that was
unopenable.
I gather what I need to do is stream the content to a file, but I can't quite see how that is done in Powershell. The files might be
many MB in size and take upwards of 30 seconds to transfer.
Any basic guidance on how to approach this would be appreciated. Thanks -

Oh so close!
I'm getting hung up on how to create and pass the session object itself.
My first command,
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri
<apiKey>9588060291......</apiKey><email>...</email><password>...</password><endOtherSessions>T</endOtherSessions></createSession">https://test.lofco.com/v1/ILCGLServices/session?method=CREATE"&"client=DEV-TEST"&"xml=<createSession><apiKey>9588060291......</apiKey><email>...</email><password>...</password><endOtherSessions>T</endOtherSessions></createSession>
-SessionVariable s -Outfile 'c:\LofCo\Demos\API Code Samples\XML\Output\createsession_response.xml'
returns successfully; I can see in the output file the session ID. I was hoping this was captured in the variable s via the -SessionVariable approach, but when I run the second command:
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri
<acceptSplash>T</acceptSplash></workspaceEntryRequest">https://test.lofco.com/services/workspaces/entry?client=DEV-TEST"&"workspaceId=226691"&"method=CREATE"&"xml=<workspaceEntryRequest><acceptSplash>T</acceptSplash></workspaceEntryRequest>
-WebSession $s -Method Post -Outfile 'C:\LofCo\Demos\API Code Samples\XML\Output\enterexchange_response.xml'
I get a 403 error indicating the session has expired or is otherwise invalid. I'm clearly confused as to how to capture this session and pass it along...
Any pointers on that piece? And thanks for your previous assistance.

Accessing sharepoint REST api using S2S authentication

Hi, I'm trying to access the SharePoint REST APIs (One-Drive for business) using the access token retrieved from S2S authentication flow (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn645543.aspx).
Currently, I'm getting the following exception:
he server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about
the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serviceDebug> configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the
Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace log
Is this scenario (app auth instead of delegate auth) support for those set of APIs?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to access SharePoint Online One-Drive for business API using OAuth 2.0 authentication.
In summary, Rest API can work with OAuth 2.0 authentication.
Here are some detailed articles about access Rest API with OAuth 2.0 authentication:
OAuth 2.0 Compliant REST API
Securing RESTful Web Services with OAuth2
About accessing One-Drive for business with Rest API, you can refer the article below:
Access OneDrive for Business using the SharePoint 2013 APIs
About the error message, I suggest you can use Fiddler to track the web request to find detailed message:

Authentication for Stream Analytics REST Api

Hi there,
I am trying to use the stream analytics rest api from a java client. For other services (storage services for example), I am able to successfully use mutual certificate authorization. I create a management certificate using keytool and upload it through
the settings tab in azure portal. I then create an SSLContext from this certificate. This all works and I am able to get access to the storage services api.
The same flow does not seem to work for stream analytics api. When attempting to make an api call, I get 401 error code with the following response authorization header.
GET https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/providers/Microsoft.StreamAnalytics/streamingjobs?api-version=2014-10-01-preview
WWW-Authenticate=[Bearer authorization_uri="https://login.windows.net/{...}", error="invalid_token", error_description="The access token is missing or invalid."]
The result is the same whether or not I configure the certificate on the client side. So, it seems like the mutual certificate authorization is not supported in stream analytics as it is in the other management APIs. Can you confirm if this feature is not
supported? If it is not supported, can you please provide some information on how we should be authenticating for stream analytics REST api?
Thanks

I did some more investigating. The Azure Stream Analytics REST Api documentation uses
https://management.azure.com/
as the base uri for managing stream analytics service. The .NET azure sdk source code on github, however, uses
https://management.core.windows.net/
for the same. So, I have tried accessing some different variations of resources.
https://management.core.windows.net/{my subscription id}/services/storageservices
Response: 200 OK
Here, I am using mutual certificate authorization to successfully reach storage services at management.core.windows.net. This verifies that the certificate authorization flow works for other services in the same subscription.
https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{my subscription id}/resourcegroups/StreamAnalytics-Default-Central-US/providers/Microsoft.StreamAnalytics/streamingjobs?api-version=2014-10-01-preview
Response: 401 Unauthorized
Message: {"error":{"code":"AuthenticationFailed","message":"Authentication failed. The 'Authorization' header is not present or provided in an invalid format."}}
Now I attempt to use the same mutual certificate authorization on the management.azure.com base uri for stream analytics management. The request fails and the error message notes that an expected Authorization header is missing. This leads me to
believe that mutual certificate authorization is not supported on management.azure.com.
The Authorization header makes sense for OAuth2 flow, so I am thinking that management.azure.com
might only support OAuth2. I need server to server management, so OAuth2 flow will not work because it requires interactive browser redirect to work with management api. Active
Directory only gives delegate permissions to management services, not application permissions. I believe this rules out using OAuth2 / Active Directory for headless
authorization - please correct me if I am wrong.
https://management.core.windows.net/subscriptions/{my subscription id}/resourcegroups/StreamAnalytics-Default-Central-US/providers/Microsoft.StreamAnalytics/streamingjobs?api-version=2014-10-01-preview
Response: 403 Forbidden
Message: <Error xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windowsazure" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><Code>ForbiddenError</Code><Message>The server failed to authenticate
the request. Verify that the certificate is valid and is associated with this subscription.</Message></Error>
Here I try to use the mangagement.core.windows.net base uri that is used in .net sdk. I get a 403 forbidden response. The error message indicates that the server attempted to complete the mutual certificate authorization. The server complains, though,
that the certificate is invalid. This is the same certificate used successfully to manage storage services, so I know the certificate is valid and the client flow works.
It would be great if someone could expand on the discrepancy between the base uri in the documentation vs .net sdk and provide some guidance on server to server authorization to stream analytics management api.
Thanks,
Dave

Is "2013-08" the latest REST API version or is the documentation outdated?

I'm wondering if the Azure Notification Hubs REST API documentation is
still correct and up-to-date or if there is already a newer API version than "2013-08" that can be used.
All the single pages show "Updated: February 26, 2015", but I guess it was just a meta data update of all the pages, since the API version didn't change,
it's still "2013-08". Is this intentional because the API didn't change or was it forgotten to update the API version?
Here (and here)
is an example for the REST API usage from Elio Damaggio which uses "2013-10" as the api version. I tried all possible api version values in the format "yyyy-mm" from "2013-10" to "2015-03" and the following
were working: "2013-10", "2014-01", "2014-05", "2014-08", "2014-09", "2015-01". Are there actual changes to the API and if so, aren't they officially supported or what is the reason for the
old API version in the documentation?
Is the API version "2015-01" officially supported and can I find the documentation for it or am I stuck with API version "2013-08"? Or
aren't there any changes worth updating the documentation?
Moreover the documentation for "Read All Registrations of a Channel" states to use
following request URI, which doesn't work: https://{namespace}.servicebus.windows.net/{NotificationHub}/registrations/?$filter=DeviceToken eq ‘{deviceToken}’&api-version=2013-08
Even more confusing, the german version uses double quotes, which doesn't work either: https://{Namespace}.servicebus.windows.net/{Benachrichtigungshub}/registrations/?$filter=DeviceToken
eq "{Gerätetoken}"&api-version=2013-08
I found out that the correct request URI must be like this to work: https://{namespace}.servicebus.windows.net/{NotificationHub}/registrations/?$filter=DeviceToken+eq+'{deviceToken}'&api-version=2013-08 ,
so + instead of spaces and '' (apostrophe / straight single quote - U+0027) instead of ‘’ (single curved quotation marks - U+2018 and U+2019) or "" (straight double quote - U+0022), e.g. https://myServiceBusNamespace.servicebus.windows.net/myHub/registrations/?$filter=DeviceToken+eq+'2ED202AC08EA9033665E853A3DC8BC4C5E78F7A6CF8D55910DF230567037DCC4'&api-version=2013-08
Is the documentation just wrong by mistake or is it not up-to-date? How are people even using the REST API without a 100% correct documentation? Is
there something I am missing? Do you get a manual when you buy a Azure Notification Hubs subscription or is the REST API not even supported officially?

The latest version is 2015-01. All or most of features works with starting version 2013-08.
Version in documentation indicates that minimum version required for working that feature. Hence, all documentation is pointing to 2013-08.
You should do the URL encoding before making http request. Otherwise special characters such as blanks and punctuation are passed in an HTTP stream without encoding, they might be misinterpreted. Hence your request failed due to space. You can use the following
method to do the URL encoding.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4fkewx0t%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
Yes, REST API is fully supported. May be there could be few gaps or bugs. We are putting constant efforts to fix all bugs as we find and improve it further.
Thanks,
Sateesh

Service Bus Send/Receive - REST API

I need to use the Azure Service Bus REST API for sending messages to Service Bus Topics. On the receiving side I'm using the Azure Service Bus SDK.
Message on the sender side:
POST https://your-namespace.servicebus.windows.net/HttpClientSampleQueue/messages?timeout=60 HTTP/1.1
Authorization: SharedAccessSignature sr=your-namespace&sig=Fg8yUyR4MOmXfHfj55f5hY4jGb8x2Yc%2b3%2fULKZYxKZk%3d&se=1404256819&skn=RootManageSharedAccessKey
BrokerProperties: {"Label":"M1","State":"Active"}
Content-Type: application/atom+xml;type=entry;charset=utf-8
Host: your-namespace.servicebus.windows.net
This is a message.
When reading the message body as message.GetBody<string> an error message is given serialization exception.
I already searched the web and found a possible solution:
Stream stream = message.GetBody<Stream>();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);
string str = reader.ReadToEnd();
or as an alternative (instead of converting to string) converting the stream into an XmlDocument
Are hese recommended ways to handle this issue?
Thanks.

@Serkant & Paolo: Thanks for the answers.
The client I use is Postman (Chrome plug-in).
The message below works fine, but as I mentioned on the server side (.NET with Azure Service Bus SDK/API) until now I used:
Stream stream = message.GetBody<Stream>();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);
string str = reader.ReadToEnd();
But I'll now try with
var body = msg.GetBody<string>(new DataContractSerializer(typeof(string)));

Hi,
How do I pull the data which gets displayed in the "Events in the Past Week" blade on Azure Preview Portal using REST APIs ?
Thanks

Thanks Alex for your reply. I did look into the service management rest api.
I was looking for the following -
1. I assigned a particular role to a AZure resource group and was looking into the Azure Resource Manager REST API. However, I did not find any REST API reference which can provide me with the events like when was the role assignment object created,
when was it assigned to the Azure resource group etc.

How to generate the User-Input XML Body for executing workflows via REST APIs: The Solution

I see that executing a workflow via REST APIs requires lot of work to be done just to prepare the right User-input XML body. Any mistake and you have some major debugging to do. Larger the number of User-Inputs, the bigger is the problem.Life is so much easier at the WFA GUI with Display names and tooltip help for User Inputs which are very easy for reading and providing the right values. I don't have any such privileges when manually preparing the User-Input XML body.It’s been asked numerous times how to provide User-Input values for type table, or Query (Multi-Select) etc. These are complex User-Input types and has lots of scope for user mistakes.I can have User-input dependency at WFA GUI which allows me to make the right selection, but while preparing my XML body I need to take care of it myself.An operator is allowed to execute workflows, but the same Display names which help him make the right user-inputs, makes it impossible for him to prepare the user-input body xml. Display names can't be used in in XML body and he can't know the exact parameter names by looking at the Display names. So he need to always contact the Admins/Architects for this. And Architects/Admins can't be expected to keep providing User-Input XML body to operators every operator. How about if I could enter all the User-Input values in my workflow execution at WFA GUI, I can do a preview which passed to my satisfaction and then I can magically get the XML body for it which I can use to execute my workflow from REST APIs from any client. It could be so very much easy for me than building my User-Input XML body manually. This is exactly what I'm going to give you right now. You open the WFA in browser, Go to your workflow, Start execution, you input values from GUI reading carefully the display names, preview it to your satisfaction and then get the XML body. Assume your workflow is called “Workflow to Print a given Message”. It’s a simple workflow with only 1 user-input Displayed as "Message to Print" Prerequisites: The following are the one-time prerequisites. You need PowerShell 3.0 on your WFA server.Import the attached Generate_Workflow_User_Input_Body_in_XML.dar in your WFA. It’s our magical command called "Generate Workflow User Input Body in XML"Add credentials of a WFA Admin/Architect in you WFA itself with Name/IP: localhostMatch: ExactType: OtherName/IP: localhostUsername: <WFA Admin/Architect Username>Password: <User Password> Steps: Suppose you have a workflow called "Workflow to Print a given Message". You want to execute it from REST apis and need to prepare the user input XML body. Select this workflow and clone it. The workflow clone is the exact copy of your original workflow word by word, input-by-input. It will open in Edit mode with name "Workflow to Print a given Message - copy".Add the command "Generate Workflow User Input Body in XML" at the beginning of your workflow. This is a must. This command need to be the first command in your cloned workflow.This command requires no input. So for its Parameters just press okay and save the workflow.You are done.Now Execute the clone workflow. You'll see all the user-inputs available to you. Make your choices as you wish. Preview it to confirm that planning is passed and u have no errors.Execute it now.You'll see that the our magical command "Generate Workflow User Input Body in XML" has failed in our clone workflow execution. Don't worry, its fate was decided to be so. But it didn't fail before giving me what I really wanted. i.e. my XML body for my real workflow. It displayed it in the GUI as well as saved it in your WFA server @ C:\temp\<workflow_name_dd_MM_yyyy_hh_mm_ss_.xmlIt also deleted all the reservations of this particular failed job. So NO major residue left to be cleaned.To summarize: Clone Your workflow and Add the command "Generate Workflow User Input Body in XML" as your first command. Start Execution, provide your User-inputs and preview it. Be satisfied and Press Okay. Now Execute it. After a few scconds this cloned workflow will fail with Error "All done. The Workflow will fail now." See the command execution logs for this command. You'll see the User-Input XML body. It has also saved the XML file at C:\temp in your WFA server. Have fun. sinhaa

Providing a new version 1.1.0 of the command "WFA Schedular" Changes made: Added conditional String Representation based on the Scheduling parameter provided. Provided check for the right number of parameters passed into the command.Added a new parameter "Expiry Date" to automatically stop the recurring execution upon expiry.Check for Posh3.0 version in code.Have Fun!! sinhaa Below example for:Schedule a workflow for recurring execution every alternate day i.e. once in 2 days at 10:30 PM starting 06-Jul-2015 (Today's date is 02-Jul-2015) . The recurring workflow execution should expire on 31-Dec-2015 and stop.
