How to use REST API to get a token?

[iamflying]

Hi all,

I am trying to learn Cloud Foundry Rest API by following the blog[1] and code[2], but failed on authentication with message.

{"code":10000,"description":"Unknown request","error_code":"CF-NotFound"}

The curl command I used is 
    curl -k -H 'AUTHORIZATION: Basic Y2Y6' -d "username=${USERNAME}&password=${PASSWORD}&grant_type=password" ${PAAS_HOST}/uaa/oauth/token

My cf deployment is 190 with self signed certificate. Anything wrong? 

Thanks.

What do you mean by "${PAAS_HOST}"? The UAA has its own hostname. The URL you probably want is "${UAA_HOST}/oauth/token", because the "/uaa" URI prefix is normally only added when running locally.

Thanks Josh.

I changed PAAS_HOST to uaa.xxxx.xip.io and remove uaa from url., i.e, https://uaa.xxxx.xip.io/oauth/token, then I can get the token returned.
