Kushan.D.Jayathilake Basic HTTP Authentication for REST service
Hi,
I have exposed a custom REST service through Apex code. I have given the following curl command to get the data from the API and it works fine if passed the session id in the header.
curl https://na30.salesforce.com/services/apexrest/testservice -H 'Authorization: Bearer 00D36000000wE02!ARAAQNag09f5_h7z8_ArS_JFo6f1o9Ag4C7y201UJDlyP66MSE1YrL7brsqS5CmCOO5' -H 'X-PrettyPrint:1'
But when I tried to use the Basic HTTP authentication it gives me below error. I have encoded the username and the password with base64
curl https://na30.salesforce.com/services/apexrest/testservice -H 'Authorization: Basic <username:password>'
[ { "message" : "Session expired or invalid", "errorCode" : "INVALID_SESSION_ID" }]
What I'm doing wrong here. Do I need to make any change in the back end code as well?

This is one example that work fine
String username='UserName'; String pwd='Password'; HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest(); request.setEndpoint('https://www.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/36.0'); request.setMethod('POST'); request.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml;charset=UTF-8'); request.setHeader('SOAPAction', '""'); request.setBody('<Envelope xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><Header/><Body><login xmlns="urn:partner.soap.sforce.com"><username>' + userName+ '</username><password>' + pwd+ '</password></login></Body></Envelope>'); Dom.XmlNode resultElmt = (new Http()).send(request).getBodyDocument().getRootElement() .getChildElement('Body', 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/') .getChildElement('loginResponse', 'urn:partner.soap.sforce.com') .getChildElement('result', 'urn:partner.soap.sforce.com'); final String SERVER_URL = resultElmt.getChildElement('serverUrl', 'urn:partner.soap.sforce.com') .getText().split('/services')[0]; final String SESSION_ID = resultElmt.getChildElement('sessionId', 'urn:partner.soap.sforce.com') .getText(); final PageReference theUrl = new PageReference(SERVER_URL + 'services/data/v26.0/sobjects/'); request = new HttpRequest(); request.setEndpoint(theUrl.getUrl()); request.setMethod('GET'); request.setHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer '+SESSION_ID); String body = (new Http()).send(request).getBody(); system.debug('=body ======='+body ); JSONParser parser = JSON.createParser(body);So the client will be passing : Authorization: Basic <username:password>
Username:Password is encoded in Base64. Normally its working for other rest service. Not sure why its not working in Salesforce.
