CUC CUMI POST request error with 11.x

viraj0raut · ‎11-03-2016

Hello,

Am getting this error when sending a POST to CUC CUMI. Same works with 10.x CUC. Is this implementation broken in 11.x?

https://<CUC IP>/vmrest/mailbox?method=requestnotification

I have tried POSTMAN and CURL (curl -k -i -X POST -H "Authorization:Basic xxxxxxxxxxxx" 'https://xxxxxxxxx/vmrest/mailbox?method=requestnotification') with same results.

<p>

<b>message: </b> Domain not Allowed.

</p>

<b>description: </b> This request requires HTTP authentication.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Note: I have posted at CUC CUMI POST request error with 11.xand was asked to post in a different location so did that.

https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/13156866/cuc-cumi-post-request-error-11x and was now asked to post on this discussion forum.

Tried CORS. Now POSTMAN reports same error message "HTTP Status 401 - Domain not Allowed." and CURL reports "HTTP Status 500 -". Would this point to Implementation issue? Why would a server report differently to different clients for REST calls? How to look at internal logs?

Thanks in advance.

Removed CORS config. It has no dependency on the issue.

Finally got it working with CURL.

Definitely no improvement with POSTMAN.

Now its more certain that VMREST function is behaving differently with any other client than CURL.

Please advice on how do we implement when user side client is not CURL.

While using postman – you would need to override the origin header with the exact domain name you have set in cors setting page with full-access or domain name of your CUC .

something like

origin : https://servername.domain.com
