Get Request work in postman but doesn't work in browser
The issue was that Api
can't identify that the request which contains the required header info for Authentication, I added Authentication
array in AppController
to allow using both Basic Auth
and Token Auth
when receiving json
request, this work fine for all requests except for this one ( Download pdf )
I've tried to add
$this->Auth->authenticate['Token'] = array(
'fields' => array(
),
// 'parameter' => '_token',
'header' => 'AuthenticationToken',
'scope' => array(
'User.permission_api_login' => true
)
);
again in Controller and it works fine!!. it seems that it can identify the Token now and return a valid file!
If I fully understand you want to authenticate with a bearer token instead of basic authorization. In case you want basic, you can use the following headers in your request:
const httpOptions = {
headers: new HttpHeaders({
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Basic ' + btoa('username:password')
})
};
In case of bearer authorization, you can do the following:
const httpOptions = {
headers: new HttpHeaders({
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + JSON.parse(your token)
})
};
Hope it helps!
