Hello,

We’re using LDAP authentication, which works like a charm. The API however does not seem to work with it, I always get Incorrect username or password.

curl -sik http://user:password@localhost:7823/projects/aoeu/cards/1.xml HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized [...] Incorrect username or password.

Have you turned on basic authentication?

If not, check the section labeled ‘Getting Started – Turning on basic authentication’

http://studios.thoughtworks.com/mingle/2.0/help/mingle_api.html

Thanks, that did the trick.

Awesome. Just moving this to the new API forum…

The api states it only supports basic authentication and you have to turn it on. We’re running in using LDAP authentication so is there a way to do mixed? Are we not going to be able to use the API if we have LDAP authentication turned on and have to let users manage passwords?

Bil – They work fine together. The ‘Basic’ refers to Basic HTTP Authentication and not basic Mingle authentication. In other words, you need to send along the username and password in the headers. If LDAP is turned on, you can send along the LDAP username and password. And this will work over whatever transport you are using, HTTP or HTTPS.

I’ve got basic authentication turned on but not getting the api to work correctly (using the browser or .NET) in my environment (or any environment for that matter).

I’ve gone in and turned on debugging in the logfile. Here’s the dump in the log file for a request (projectname.xml). Any ideas based on this information why I can’t get this to work:

Is this resolved yet? We can’t seem to get it to work anymore.. it worked in mingle 1.1.
