Questions are venturing out of scope for Kea/Stork and are more with general HTTP but will make a stab at getting you pointed in right direction.

In your second call, you are attempting to use HTTP basic authentication (--user arg to curl) instead of sending the session cookie.  As mentioned earlier in thread, Stork uses sessions for authentication where expiration is currently hard coded to 24 hours.   The session cookie is provided with your successful call to /api/sessions and was stored in your cookie jar file “cookie.txt” with the sample curl command you provided.  In your tests using curl for second call, you just need to omit the username arg and tell curl to use the cookie jar you specified in login post.

Example login (stores session cookie in cookie jar “cookie.txt”):

curl -X 'POST'   'http://10.0.0.230:8080/api/sessions'   -H 'accept: application/json'   -H 'Content-Type: application/json'   -d '{
  "useremail": "sgw",
  "userpassword": "yourpassword"
}'  -c cookie.txt

Example API call using previous acquired session cookie stored in cookie jar:

curl -X 'GET'   'http://10.0.0.230:8080/api/subnets'   -H 'accept: application/json'   -b cookie.txt

Trying to figure out these calls now.

curl -k -c cookie.txt -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

"userpassword": "nCNKRxxxxxxxx"}'

returns an OK cookie.txt that in turn also can be used for API calls.

But I fail with something like:

curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --user
"sgw:nCNKRxxxxxxxx" https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2F10.0.0.230%3A8080%2Fapi%2Fusers&data=05%7C01%7Crick.frey%40windstream.com%7Cbbd393496bb846fdd18e08dadea2c5a7%7C2567b4c1b0ed40f5aee358d7c5f3e2b2%7C0%7C0%7C638067087957637806%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=7TzgD5V2k3CR1iNoomF0b4l33dMNllCT3LxG8qInW%2FQ%3D&reserved=0

Shouldn't that work also? Maybe I have a stupid mistake, thanks.

I tried with two user/pw-combos to rule out stuff like special chars in
the password.
