  • 1.  Resource PC HTTP Interface for SSO e.g. UserList or ProcList

    Posted 09-25-2019 04:02

    Resource PC HTTP Interface
    I'm trying to simply call the function
    http://localhost:8181/user%20name%20 [username] &password%20 [password] &userlist
    or
    http://localhost:8181/user%20 [userID] &password%20 [password] &userlist

    This naturally works perfectly fine using a non SSO environment. 
    however, now i'm moving to a SSO environment, and got difficulties authenticating these type of calls through HTTP. 

    so what would be the equivalent to above for SSO?

    my domain is something like: companyAD.woop.com
    username is RobotAwesomeUser1
    password is SoSecurePassword
    user principal name becomes RobotAwesomeUser1@companyAD.woop.com

    I thought the http call would be:
    http://localhost:8181/user%20name%20 [user principal name] &password%20 [password] &userlist

    Regards, and thanks for the help

    Hi, 
    I was in contact with Blue Prism because of this exact question. Unfortunately HTTPs commands with SSO are not supported.
    The alternative is to use CLI automatec.exe, which supports /sso switch.

    I hope someone corrects me here and shows me another workaround or solution.

    Regards

    I managed to solve the issue. It was rather stupid. 

    I tried replicate my issue using another environment also based on SSO. 
    this is the correct solution:
    http://localhost:8181/user%20name%20 [user principal name] &password%20 [password] &userlist

    but you need to make sure that the password contain valid HTML Path characters. My password contained "#" ​which had to be translated to %23
    then it worked just fine.

    Hi Simon,
    what Blue Prism version are you using?
    I tried your proposed solution with v6.4 and it didnt work.

    I tried:
    http://<hostname>:8181/user%20name%20<user>@<domain>&password%20<password>&userlist
    http://localhost:8181/user%20name%20<user>@<domain>&password%20<password>&userlist
    http://localhost:8181/user%20name%20<user>&password%20<password>&userlist

    User name, domain and password do not contain any special characters

    I always receive:
    USER SET
    AUTHENTICATION FAILED
    USER NOT SET

    I think what you are trying is correct. however, need to make sure the username is exactly as expected. 

    You can also try with using /user <userID>&password <password>&userlist

    btw at my company the username will include spaces e.g. simon a pedersen@adgroupcompany

    currently using 6.6, but testing on latest version of a 6.4 edition

    My user ID does not contain any special characters or blanks. The same with the name of the domain and the password. Although the password is case sensitive. 
    I have tried with log-on domain and AD host (same as used for configure Blue Prism SSO). 
    all without success though.

    I hope I can manage to run some tests on a later version of Blue Prism later.
