Getting authorization issue

[vandana_ratnaparkhi]

I am getting this error message “org.apache.http.client.HttpResponseException: status code: 401, reason phrase: Unauthorized” while trying to hit the api of this url “https://author-p69802-e616155.adobeaemcloud.com”. I have implemented SSL certification also but still getting the same error message.

Could you please help to resolve this issue.

Hi.

Do I understand correctly, that you have java code, which tries to connect to the mentioned URL? What approach do you use for authentication?

[vandana_ratnaparkhi]

I am trying to hit api through postman and getting unauthorized exception.

[Jörg_Hoh]

What type of authentication (and therefor: credentials) are you using? JWT token? Username/password as basic auth?

(Remember, that in AEM as a Cloud Service the authentication normally works using IMS and tokens, unlike the "classic" way of using username/password).

[vandana_ratnaparkhi]

Ok, I am using username/password.

[Jörg_Hoh · Accepted solution]

What password are you using? You cannot do a POST of your AEM credentials (which you enter either at IMS or at the SSO solution of your company) to AEM, that won't work.

@vandana_ratnaparkhi Did you try hitting api through postman?

[vandana_ratnaparkhi]

Yes, but getting access denied.

[Ganthimathi_R]

@vandana_ratnaparkhi That means you will have to pass the credentials to access it.

[vandana_ratnaparkhi]

Already passing the credentials and also implemented SSL certificate but still getting access denied.

Make sure you are using a bearer token that you generate from AEM development console:

And there when you sign in and click on integrations:

You can generate a developer token which you could use to make a call and perform requests.

Can you share screenshot of your postman window?
