"Message:" "Authorization has been denied for this request." for system/status

Mike1973

Hi,

 

I've seen a thread on a similar problem, but nothing I tried from that thread worked.  I'm writing an application that uses the piwebapi, and want to test if the system is running by using a GET on the piwebapi/system/status.  I can get to all the points on the server through the piwebapi and everything else on the piwebapi/system menu, but not the status.  When I try, I get the subject response, "Message:" "Authorization has been denied for this request".  Is there a reason I'm able to access everything EXCEPT the system/status?

 

Thanks,

Mike

    Hi Michael

     

    The authenticated user must be a member of the local PI Web API administrators group to read this endpoint.

    Vince,

     

    Thanks for the quick reply.  I'm still not clear on what I need to do.  I've added a user to the local PI Web API Admins group (that was created by default when the Pi Web API was installed) with a username and password.  If a remote developer wants access to the system/status endpoint (whether through a GET or just via a browser using <host server>/piwebapi/system/status), it doesn't ask for a username and password, it just gives me the same "Authorization has been denied".  I'm very new to OSI Pi, having been asked to set up a PI Server for a proof of concept, so these may seem like trivial questions.  I've also changed the "AuthenticationMethods" in the PI System Explorer to both "Basic" and "Anonymous".  Should I only use Basic, or can I keep it Anonymous and still be able to have remote developers access the system/status endpoint?  Thanks again for the help!
