  • 1.  Unable to Create ApiKey

    Posted 06/10/24 10:50 AM
    Problem
    I am following the instructions to get an apikey JSON response from Maximo. I get the login html instead of the apikey JSON.
    Steps to reproduce
    I am following the steps from this website (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/creating-and-using-rest-api-keys-secure-application-server-environment) and performing the steps on Postman. I checked Maximo Swagger UI and found the url for creating apikeys is "https://maximo.company.com/maximo/oslc/os/mxapiapikey". I stored username and password in Authorization tab. I using "content-type=application/json" in my header. I using "{ "expiration":-1 }" in my JSON body. I am using "https://maximo.company.com/maximo/oslc/os/mxapiapikey/create" as my url. When I send the POST request, it returns the html of Maximo login screen.

    Suggestions
    Request to know missing step or possible work around.
    What should I do to get the apikey to appear in JSON response instead of the html login?

    Hi Michael,

    Try one of the solutions mentioned here. It depends if you are using BASIC or FORM authentication.

    Suhas,

    Thanks for reaching out. I realized that the image did not load I reuploaded it. The image shows the same steps that your link presents. I color coded the inputs to show how I followed each step. The red underline shows tat I am attempted a Basic authorization. Can you please advise on how I can work around the issue?

    Another link for the picture is (Apikey Creation on Postman).

    Thanks in advance,

    Mike Minkoff

    Following instruction step by step with each color - coded.

    Few questions:

    1. Can you share the web.xml from your environment?
    2. What is the value of useAppServerSecurity in system properties?
    3. Which version of Maximo are you using?

    Hi Suhas,

    In our case value of useAppServerSecurity property is 1.

    We are using MAS 9.1.

    Do you have idea about how to fix this?
