Not able to Access Conjur REST APIs on gitbash and postman about conjur-quickstart HOT 14 CLOSED

Hi @ravics09 Can you share a little more setup information? What is the working configuration, is the working case on the same machine? Is postman being used in the working case? There shouldn't be a mapping, have you tried with setting the explicit port in the command?

Hi @rpothier ,

Setup Information:
Docker version - 2.5.0
OS - Windows 10
Yes I am trying postman on same machine to test conjur REST APIs. How I can set explicit port with the command.

Docker Setting

default.config file

On conjur CLI I able to access those api. like

But when I try to access http://conjur using curl command on git bash I am not getting correct output.

from conjur-quickstart.

I too trying same kind of scenario...trying to get secret from postman using restapi. Any solution found???

from conjur-quickstart.

Hi @ravics09 In the git bash case shouldn't that be run inside the container?
i.e. docker-compose exec client curl ...

from conjur-quickstart.

Hi @rpothier ,
Yes In git bash using docker-compose..... I am getting Authorization missing

But After adding token manually it worked.

In case of postman, I am still facing issue. How we can access conjur rest apis in postman?
I searched regarding it but didn't find anything on internet.

from conjur-quickstart.

from conjur-quickstart.

OK, thanks @ravics09 . So now it's ok with gitbash, and only an issue with Postman, is this correct?

from conjur-quickstart.

Also, @ravics09 and @venkatesh22pv for questions on the API to use in postman, you can refer to https://github.com/cyberark/conjur-openapi-spec/wiki

Thanks @rpothier

I have given sometime on it and got success to access conjur api on postman.
Still one issue there for each api request I have to add access token manually in the request header.

Below request not generating token automatically
curl -H "$(conjur authn authenticate -H)" http://localhost:8080/whoami

So I tried below code and added token manually and it worked.

curl --request GET \
--url http://localhost:8080/whoami  \
--header 'authorization: Token token="XXXXXXXXX"

"$(conjur authn authenticate -H)"

is not working with postman to generate token.
Can you help me in it ? @rpothier @izgeri

from conjur-quickstart.

Hi @ravics09 How are you generating the token? Are you generating from the gitbash shell or the docker container.
you can generate the token by calling the docker container like this.
curl -H "$(docker-compose exec client conjur authn authenticate -H)" -k https://localhost:8443/whoami

from conjur-quickstart.

@ravics09 I've done a little digging into your issue.

Git-Bash

I think the problem you're experiencing is that the "$(conjur authn authenticate -H)" command substitution is occurring in your shell, and not in the client service, where the conjur executable resides.

This can be fixed by executing the command as a string, and escaping the contained " and $. This version of the command will substitute the authentication command from the shell of the client service, where it will execute successfully.

docker-compose exec client sh -c "curl -H \"\$(conjur authn authenticate -H)\" http://conjur/whoami"

Postman

I would like to understand the problem you're having with Postman further, as I'm currently working on a guide for exploring the Conjur API using Postman and the Conjur OpenAPI Spec. I have a preliminary version here if you want to take a look, any feedback is appreciated.

I think the problem is similar to the Git-Bash problem, where you are evoking conjur outside of the conjur-cli. In what context are you using the command $(conjur authn authenticate -H) in Postman? As a pre-request hook?

from conjur-quickstart.

Hi @rpothier ,
I am trying to generate token in postman.
I tried
curl -H "$(docker-compose exec client conjur authn authenticate -H)" -k https://localhost:8443/whoami

But its giving Authorization missing in response.

I don't want to generate access token in cli and use that in api call instead I want to generate access token with the api request in postman.

Hi @ravics09
For the issues with Postman, please refer to @john-odonnell comments and the links he provided.

Hi @ravics09 Since the remaining questions are with Postman, can we close this issue?
