Authtoken with windows credential failing: Unauthorized

[ekalkst]

Used get-uipathauthtoken with -WindowsCredetnials and -Session in parameters. Get a response but the next call will fail

[rusanu]

The Windows based authorization creates a token that is not actually validating the credential. This makes it confusing for an user that receives a successful token, only to fail when using it.

Getting the same thing. Any ETA on a solution?

[rusanu]

@DRCawthon let me make sure I understand: you are getting a Windows Authentication token, and at the first use you are getting an authentication error?

[DRCawthon]

Yes correct. In my first screenshot you can see that i put the token into a variable but the actual token field is empty. Whenever i try to use it to upload a package i get the error you see in the 2nd screenshot that Im not authorized.

This issue here is simply about the problem that Get-UiPathAuthToken should fail if the user is not authorized, not return a success token that fails when tried to be used.

But in your case, It looks like that you are not authorized. Are you trying to debug/troubleshoot why are you not authorized?

[DRCawthon]

I should be authorized. Im an Admin in the Orchestrator instance. Even if I try to use username and password of admin account (i installed Orchestrator) i get the same null token.

i have the same problem at DRCAwthon. When i use the admin account created at install Get-UiPathAuthToken -URL https://domain -Username admin -Password password -Session -verbose i get a token but when i do Get-UiPathAuthToken -URL https://domain -WindowsCredentials -Session -verbose i get no token but no errors either i get the same as the above pictures. the powershell user is at that moment also an administrator on the Orchestrator instance.

edit. when i use the AD user with the admin /password link. i get this

Is there any news on this? im experiencing the same problem.

[rusanu]

Resolving this since does not reflect a problem with the library and is non-actionable. All cases I looked are were incorrect assumptions (Azure AD vs. AD), legit authentication issues (user had no access) or old Orchestrator deployments (18.1 with OU enabled does not work with AD auth for API calls)
