ServiceManager.Admin.WhoAmI throws exception in TestApi sample application

api

I'm unable to connect to our gemini instance using the TestApi sample application.

I get an Exception : Unknown error, status code: Unauthorized

at Countersoft.Gemini.Api.BaseService.GetResponse[T](IRestRequest request) at Countersoft.Gemini.Api.BaseService.WhoAmI() at Test.FormLogin.btnOKClick1(Object sender, EventArgs e) in ..\Dev\ContersoftGeminiExamples\Samples\FormLogin.cs:line 29

The gemini instance is hosted in IIS 7.5, it isn't behind a firewall

If i try connecting using Windows Authentication: login = new ServiceManager("http://gemini", "domain\username", "", "", true);

I get a RestException : Unauthorized

If i try connection using UserName\Password with apiKey : login = new ServiceManager("http://gemini", "domain\username", "password", "apiKey", false);

I get an Exception : Unknown error, status code: Unauthorized at Countersoft.Gemini.Api.BaseService.GetResponse[T](IRestRequest request) at Countersoft.Gemini.Api.BaseService.WhoAmI() at Test.FormLogin.btnOKClick1(Object sender, EventArgs e) in ..\Dev\ContersoftGeminiExamples\Samples\FormLogin.cs:line 31

Is the windows user that you are running under matches the user specified in code?

This is what I'm getting

[STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
        string text = "";

        text += WhoAmI("http://gemini", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, "", "apiKey", false);
        text += WhoAmI("http://gemini", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, "pwd", "apiKey", false);
        text += WhoAmI("http://gemini", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, "pwd", "", false);
        text += WhoAmI("http://gemini", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, "", "apiKey", true);
        text += WhoAmI("http://gemini", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, "", "", true);

        text += WhoAmI("http://geminiclient", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, "", "apiKey", false);
        text += WhoAmI("http://geminiclient", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, "pwd", "apiKey", false);
        text += WhoAmI("http://geminiclient", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, "pwd", "", false);
        text += WhoAmI("http://geminiclient", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, "", "apiKey", true);
        text += WhoAmI("http://geminiclient", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, "", "", true);

        File.WriteAllText(@"C:\temp\WhoAmI.txt", text);
    }

    private static string WhoAmI(string url, string username, string password, string apiKey, bool windowsAuthentication)
    {
        string ret = "";

        try
        {
            ServiceManager serviceManager = new ServiceManager(url, username, password, apiKey, windowsAuthentication);

            serviceManager.Admin.WhoAmI();

            ret += "Success";
        }
        catch (Exception exception)
        {
            ret += exception.Message + Environment.NewLine;


            ret += exception.StackTrace+ Environment.NewLine+ Environment.NewLine+ Environment.NewLine;
        }

        return ret;
    }

Gives:

Are you running Gemini using windows authentication in the web.config file? If so, did you disable anonymous access in IIS?

Can you please use Fiddler to see if the response is from IIS or Gemini?

Ok, this is a bug in 5.1.3, which we are fixing for 5.1.5 (due out next week).

Note that it is only the WhoAmI method that has this issue. You should still be able to use the api.

I get the same issues when trying to get a list of users:

    [STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
        string text = "";

        text += DoSomething("http://gemini", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, "", "apiKey", false);
        text += DoSomething("http://gemini", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, "pwd", "apiKey", false);
        text += DoSomething("http://gemini", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, "pwd", "", false);
        text += DoSomething("http://gemini", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, "", "apiKey", true);
        text += DoSomething("http://gemini", WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, "", "", true);

        File.WriteAllText(@"C:\temp\DoSomething.txt", text);
    }

    private static string DoSomething(string url, string username, string password, string apiKey, bool windowsAuthentication)
    {
        string ret = "";

        try
        {
            ServiceManager serviceManager = new ServiceManager(url, username, password, apiKey, windowsAuthentication);

            List<Countersoft.Gemini.Commons.Entity.User> users = serviceManager.User.GetUsers().Select(p => p.Entity).ToList();

            ret += "Success";
        }
        catch (Exception exception)
        {
            ret += exception.Message + Environment.NewLine;


            ret += exception.StackTrace+ Environment.NewLine+ Environment.NewLine+ Environment.NewLine;
        }

        return ret;
    }

You need to be a Gemini Administrator to do that.
