Ejabberd OAuth / REST 401 Unauthorized

Question

I'm trying to request the Ejabberd REST Web Services with the /api/connected_users endpoint but the request always returns me 401 Unauthorized HTTP errors.

Here is my OAuth configuration.

 - 
port: 5280
module: ejabberd_http
request_handlers:
  "/websocket": ejabberd_http_ws
  # OAuth Support
  "/oauth": ejabberd_oauth
  # ReST API:
  "/api": mod_http_api
web_admin: true
http_bind: true
register: true
captcha: false

...    

commands_admin_access: configure
commands:
  - add_commands: user
oauth_expire: 3600
oauth_access: all

As explained in the documentation I use the following URL to generate an OAuth 2 Access Token for the admin user.

http://localhost:5280/oauth/authorization_token?response_type=token&client_id=myclient&redirect_uri=http://localhost:5280&scope=sasl_auth

It returns me my OAuth Token.

http://localhost:5280/?access_token=oLn8Hebh051l2PdCM15tSvHrEI25CpBs&token_type=bearer&expires_in=3600&scope=sasl_auth&state=

Finally to request the api/connected_users endpoint I do the following.

curl -v -X GET -H "X-Admin: true" -H "Authorization: Bearer oLn8Hebh051l2PdCM15tSvHrEI25CpBs" http://localhost:5280/api/connected_users

But it always returns me 401 Unauthorized errors.

In my ejabberd.log file I have this.

So how to configure Ejabberd to allow the admin user to request all the Ejabberd REST Web Services ?

My users are stored in Mysql, as OAuth Tokens are stored in Mnesia could it be the problem ?

Thanks,

Answer 1

Be sure you are using the @host when entering username if it's specified in that way in ejabberd.yml. I wasn't receiving any response from REST requests because I was using just admin for user, when should be admin@somehost in user name.

Please let me know if this doesn't help.

Answer 2

make sure you enter correct User(jid): ( User (jid): user@hostname)

it worked for me.
