Hello There is also the option of org.apache.http.legacy for the old android 3.x version that they deprecated. It always surprised me that there isn't a nice standard easy way to do all this auth in android.

(BTW - there's a "HttpClient for Android 4.3.5 (GA)" - https://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi ) so then urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json"); Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() { protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() { return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password.toCharArray()); } }); should work? (Note that the above ugly code would leak the portal username/password to ANY URL connection done later within the JVM/app! You could in theory do Authenticator.setDefault(null) but that would then not be thread-safe) On 2 September 2016 at 14:45, Ian Dunlop <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > When Larry did the auth for the tav mobile app he used basic auth using the > code you can find here > https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-mobile/blob/ 4daa91d3f42b5a4474303fd39c7a7ec1483cebff/app/src/main/java/ org/apache/taverna/mobile/fragments/workflowdetails/ WorkflowdetailFragment.java#L686 > > The hardest part was figuring out how to base 64 encode the params because > Rails and Java seemed to do it diferently - see the end of > https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-mobile/blob/ 4daa91d3f42b5a4474303fd39c7a7ec1483cebff/app/src/main/java/ org/apache/taverna/mobile/fragments/workflowdetails/ WorkflowdetailFragment.java#L688 > > @Stian Android removed http client a while ago and recommended using > HttpURLConnection instead > https://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html > > I wouldn't mess around with form submission since you can use a more API > based login in the portal. > > Cheers, > > Ian > > On 2 September 2016 at 14:02, Stian Soiland-Reyes <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On 2 September 2016 at 13:17, Sagar <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> > I am integrating taverna player portal in taverna mobile. >> > I am getting error on user login to taverna player portal >> > >> > I can log in it by using this code by replacing email and password to >> your >> > email and password >> > >> > curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" >> -H >> > "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d >> 'user[email]=*email* >> > &user[password]=*password*&user[remember_me]=0&commit=Sign in' " >> > http://139.59.28.12:3000/users/sign_in"; >> > >> > i am getting >> > {"status":"406","error":"Not Acceptable"} >> > for correct credential >> > >> > >> > I am getting >> > { >> > "error": "Invalid email or password." >> > } >> > for incorrect credential >> > >> > if I remove Accept header then I am getting 200 Status Code for both the >> > correct and incorrect credential. >> > >> > So how can I distinguish between correct and incorrect credential? >> >> >> The simple answer is to include that Accept header and then check for >> HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized :) >> >> It should be quite easy to do that using HTTPClient. >> >> >> I think you can also use basic authentication instead of submitting >> the form, as the error includes: >> >> WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Application" >> >> However it seems using /users/sign_in you still HAVE to do an empty >> POST (as GET has no JSON representation), e.g. >> >> curl -v -H "Accept: application/json" -X POST -d "" --anyauth --user >> fred:s3cret http://139.59.28.12:3000/users/sign_in >> >> >> >> >> I think the proper answer is that the HTTP status response to the >> browser (Accept: text/html or no Accept at all) is technically wrong >> (it's not 200 OK) - but probably on purpose by Rails, because you >> don't want a 401 basic authenticatoin login dialog popping up when you >> have a nice HTML form. >> >> I could not find any of the code doing /user/sign_in in >> https://github.com/myGrid/taverna-player-portal/tree/ >> master/app/controllers >> or https://github.com/myGrid/taverna-player/tree/master/ >> app/controllers/taverna_player >> - perhaps Rob or Finn knows how this is handled? >> >> >> -- >> Stian Soiland-Reyes >> Apache Taverna (incubating), Apache Commons >> http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-9718 >> -- Stian Soiland-Reyes Apache Taverna (incubating), Apache Commons http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-9718
