REST samples available

You should indeed use Basic Authentication.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication: 

The Authorization header is constructed as follows:

1. Username and password are combined into a string "username:password"
2. The resulting  string literal is then encoded using  Base64
3. The authorization method and a space i.e. "Basic " is then put before the encoded string.

For example, if the user agent uses 'Aladdin' as the username and 'open sesame' as the password then the header is formed as follows:

Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==

I think it's a problem with the url:

<myip>:4516/security/role/

should be

<myip>:4516/deployit/security/role/

Thanks. I know how to create a basic authentication header, but if authentication would be the problem I would expect a 401 Unauthorized and not a 404.

What would be the correct url for /security/role/. Do I need to prefix all rest urls with a context root?

Hi Richard,

Yes, you're right, the "/deployit" part should be prefixed to the URL. I've created documentation bug DEPLOYITPB-3134 on our internal issue database for this.

Hi Richard,

Prefexing deployit works. Thanks!

Note that this is not clear from the documentation.

Richard
