PBS API connectivity

[LodgedDrip]

Hi,

I've set up a python script that is going to be using the PBS API, however, when trying to connect I'm seeing the following:
"2023-01-17T13:48:53+00:00: authentication failure; rhost=[REMOVED] msg=user account or token disabled or expired."

For testing purposes, it's using the "root@pam" user like such in the auth header "PBSAPIToken=root@pam!scripts" and then the secret value.

I've set up "API Token Permissions" to the / path, hooked to the API token and with the 'admin' role.

Nothing should be disabled or expired since I'm using this account daily and the token is set to never expire.

did you adhere to the format of "PBSAPIToken=root@pam!token:SECRET" (note the colon ':')

did you adhere to the format of "PBSAPIToken=root@pam!token:SECRET" (note the colon ':')

Thanks! That's it. Threw me off a bit as it works without it on the PVE api.

Hi all !

I am trying to connect to PBS 2.3.2 API using PHP, Curl and Postman but the script always receives the same error message:

authentication failed - no authentication credentials provided.

I have tried from command line using Curl, also scripting with PHP and even Postman with both methods (providing user and password in a call to /api2/json/access/ticket) and also providing API key, but nothing works.... Both the user and the API key have been authorized (user permissions and api key permissions).... Can you please share a piece of code in Python (or any programming language) with the authentication process?

Best regards,

in curl:

TOKEN='root@pam!curl'
KEY='897eaf39-3913-4a18-882a-e80b2de0a29a'
curl -k -H "Authorization: PBSAPIToken=$TOKEN:$KEY" https://localhost:8007/api2/json

Please note the colon ':' between token and key, and the name of the token 'PBSAPIToken' - you're probably using PVEAPIToken

Thanks a lot !

I was adding the 'Bearer' word to the header.
