Q&A

Hi community

I am using the below code. But I am getting 401 error.
Please help me to understand what is going wrong.
Also getting CORS error , but my angular app is running in localhost:4200 and bonita is running in localhost:8080.

 

 ngOnInit() {

      const headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' };

      const body = { username: 'walter.bates',password: 'bpm', redirect: false };

      this.http.post('http://localhost:8080/bonita/loginservice', body, { headers })

      .subscribe(data => {

        alert(data);

      });

  }

Hello,

I am not using angular, so can't help with that. But it looks fine. You get an unauthorized error which is strange.

Are you using the default installation especially for the users ? You get that error when the credentials are wrong.

Hereunder is my test with a default installation under Linux (which works as expected). I took the log with wireshark

curl -v -c saved_cookies.txt -X POST --url 'http://localhost:8080/bonita/loginservice' --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8' -O /dev/null -d 'username=walter.bates&password=bpm'
POST /bonita/loginservice HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080
User-Agent: curl/7.68.0

Thank you for your answer.

I was able to solve my problem.My Modified code is as follows

 

 private _loginUrl = 'http://localhost:8080/bonita/loginservice';
  constructor(private http: HttpClient, private cookie: CookieService){
  }
  private body = new HttpParams()
    .set('username', 'walter.bates')
    .set('password', 'bpm');

 loginUser(){
 return this.http.post(this._loginUrl,this.body.toString(),{ headers: new HttpHeaders().set('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded')})
  .subscribe(res=>{
  })
  }
