RE:http://localhost/rest/settoken returns error 403

Hello,

I would recommend you to search on the Google for "url=https://www.google.com/search?q=rest+authentication+403&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb]REST authentication 403[/url]"
so you can find articles like this one: HTTP 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden for a “disabled” user?

So it seems that your used is not enabled/allowed to access the website.

Best regards,
Martin Danko

RE:http://localhost/rest/settoken returns error 403

Hello, Martin

I tried to invoke the following request using Fiddler:

GET http://localhost:8080/rest/settoken?username=joedoe&password=12345&token=12345
User-Agent: Fiddler
Host: localhost:8080
Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8
Authentication: Basic am9lZG9lOjEyMzQ1

But I get following response:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Cache-Control: private
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.0

I enabled REST services in Kentico, I added webhttpbinding and rest service in web.config

Why I get this error?

Thanks for your reply
