API not working from web ui

[FStefanni]

Hi,

I like to signal the following bug in the web ui for the rest api. If I use it, I get this error:

{
  "code": 16,
  "message": "authorization metadata must in format 'Bearer <TOKEN>",
  "details": []
}

Which is due to the fact that the web api does not seems to send the correct request. In fact, the example curl is:

curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://lorawan.gizeroplatform.com/api/tenants?limit=100&offset=0' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Grpc-Metadata-Authorization: mysupertoken'

Whilst, as stated by the error, it should be:

curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://lorawan.gizeroplatform.com/api/tenants?limit=100&offset=0' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Grpc-Metadata-Authorization: Bearer mysupertoken'

Please note the added Bearer. Of course, the fixed curl works fine.

Best regards.

I believe if you paste in the authorization field Bearer <TOKEN> it should work fine?

[FStefanni]

Hi,

yes exactly. That's the bugs:

• wrong example of curl
• wrong execution by using the swagger ui

If I do the correct curl by command line, it works fine.

Regards.

But isn't this expected? In Swagger you configure the Authorization header, not just the token. If in this textfield you enter Bearer <TOKEN> then the Swagger UI works fine + shows the correct curl commands.

I believe in your case you only entered <TOKEN> in the Authorization field which is causing this issue.

[FStefanni]

Ah, now I understand what you are meaning, and doing as you say works. But this is not expected/clear from the webui. In fact I put just the token into the form, not the Bearer <TOKEN>. The form asks for the "api_key", and does not tell us to insert other stuff. So this is misleading.

So I suggest to add the Bearer part automatically (maybe only if missing?).

I tried to integrate into 'chirpstack v4', but I reported an error： request

curl -X 'GET' \
  'http://10.32.233.182:8090/api/applications?limit=1' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Grpc-Metadata-Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJhdWQiOiJjaGlycHN0YWNrIiwiaXNzIjoiY2hpcnBzdGFjayIsInN1YiI6ImQyMDA4MjMyLTUwN2QtNDU2ZC1hNTNkLTEwZDYyNDllMDI5YiIsInR5cCI6ImtleSJ9.ltPtc_f_xjFKejqJMxkv0jlnb_bwWC1-Ih4toBVVcCs'

@Z-J-X We hit the same bug.

Anything slightly wrong in the REST call gets you this message.

Here we discovered there is a mandatory GET parameter tenantId, if you add it, it starts working. The swagger does not say which fields are mandatory.

I believe tenant was called "organization" in v3.
