I am trying to do Basic Authentication using RestKit but I need some help with figuring out why I get status code 401(Unauthorized). I tried this, but it did not work for me. I will appreciate if someone can point out my mistake.
This is what my data looks like on the server side: Sample
{
"Id": "baec6f47",
"TokenValidity": "00:00:00.1234567",
"ValidTo": "2013-10-28T23:54:21.2934278+00:00",
"Parameters": {},
"Token": "sample string 3"
}
I have a NSObject class called TokenObject, and that where I am need to store this data.
TokenObject.h
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@interface TokenObject : NSObject
@property (nonatomic,strong) NSNumber *tokenId;
@property (nonatomic,strong) NSDate *TokenValidity;
@property (nonatomic,strong) NSDate *ValidTo;
@property (nonatomic,strong)NSString *Parameters;
@property (nonatomic,strong)NSString *Token;
@end
Quick Overview:
In the login screen I only ask for the username, and once the user clicks on sign up, I sent a Post request to create the account and send a get request for the token(and use the RestKit's setAuthorizationHeaderWithUsername right before the get request). For the username:password, I am using the the nickname and hardware id.
This is the method where I am posting the account(works), encode the username and password to base 64(works) and trying to get the token(which is the part i am having problem with).
