External Login Caravel

[Aram Lauxtermann]

Hi,

I am trying to login to caravel externally. I intercepted the post method and was wondering which: headers and body flask needs. Plus do I need to look for CORS type things?

P.S. The exact file locations would already help a lot.

Best & Tnx

I'm not sure if I get what you mean by "login externally", but here's how we login in the context of the unit tests:

I made a table in caravel that I want to show in a other web application on a other cloud instance. So I tried to post my Caravel credentials to caravel /login, but I get a Allow Origin (CORS) problem. So I temp. disabled CORS, but I am till being re-directed to the login page. Even when I follow redirects. So my question is basically, what do I need to post for a external login?

Tnx

Basically I post

var settings = {
    "async": true,
    "crossDomain": true,
    "url": "http://XXXX.com/login/",
    "method": "POST",
    "headers": {
        "origin": "http://XXX.com",
        "upgrade-insecure-requests": "1",
        "user-agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.63 Safari/537.36",
        "content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
        "accept": "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8",
        "referer": "http://analytics-prodocker.eu-central-1.elasticbeanstalk.com/login/",
        "accept-encoding": "gzip, deflate",
        "accept-language": "en-US,en;q=0.8,nl;q=0.6",
        "cache-control": "no-cache"
    },
    "data": {
       "username": "XXX",
       "password": "XXX"

    }
};

$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
    console.log(response);
});
