Login Endpoint

[badak afrika]

I'm working on an assignment related to Dspace. When I use the endpoint for login it returns error code 405 with the words "Only POST is allowed for login requests" even though a few weeks ago this endpoint was running normally. This login endpoint returns AWSLAB and AWSALBCORS which previously returned DSPACE-XSRF-TOKEN values. What happened to this login endpoint and how can I login through the endpoint?

According to the documentation: https://github.com/DSpace/RestContract/blob/main/authentication.md
this endpoint ONLY accepts the POST http method, to get the DSPACE-XSRF-TOKEN you can make a GET on /server/api/authn/status and then make the POST, here is a snippet written in scala I use to authenticate:

val responseStatus: Response[String] = quickRequest

.get(uri"http://localhost:8080/server/api/authn/status")

.send()

val dspaceXsrfToken: String = responseStatus.header("dspace-xsrf-token").getOrElse("")

val responseLogin = quickRequest

.post(uri"http://localhost:8080/server/api/authn/login")

.cookie("DSPACE-XSRF-COOKIE", dspaceXsrfToken)

.header("X-XSRF-TOKEN", dspaceXsrfToken)

.body(Map("user" -> user, "password" -> pass))

.send()
