API token authentication

[Luis Bueno]

Hello!

I'm currently using Netbox 2.0.2. When I try to use the API to create a object I get the message "Authentication credentials were not provided.".

Is the authorization header wrong or I'm dealing with a bug?

That's the test request I'm running:

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Token b275f46c755800c72ecf264a3befe2a01cb9993e" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json; indent=4" http://netbox.xxxxxx.com/api/dcim/sites/ --data '{"name": "My New Site", "slug": "my-new-site"}'

{

    "detail": "Authentication credentials were not provided."

}

Regards.

Your request appears to be correct and should result in a successful response, assuming the token is valid. It's possible that the front end HTTP server isn't passing the authorization header to the WSGI service. What happens when you pass the same request to the development server directly? (./manage.py runserver will start the development server locally.)

Jeremy, that's right. Apache wasn't passing the authorization header.

After inserting "WSGIPassAuthorization On" in wsgi mod configuration file, the API started to accept the token.

Interesting. I'll add that bit to the installation docs. Thanks for following up!
