Jazz secured request ignores OAuth Authorization header

Tom Tom2 (11●3) | asked Jun 07 '17, 1:33 a.m.

I sing up with my application to https://jazz2.mycompany.com:9443 using OAuth 1.0a authorization method.

Then when I try to send request to

https://jazz2.mycompany.com:9443/rm/oslc_rm/catalog

with "Authorization: OAuth ..." header with all OAuth standart parameters,

Authorization: OAuth&nbsp;
</div>
<div>
    realm=&quot;http://SERVERNAME/rm&quot;,
</div>
<div>
    oauth_consumer_key=&quot;49cfd21d97cf4808b730f072c902cef7&quot;,
</div>
<div>
    oauth_signature_method=&quot;HMAC-SHA1&quot;,
</div>
<div>
    oauth_signature=&quot;HjgQTj8a%2BK4VrqmaU3yiFa4rQgQ%3D&quot;,
</div>
<div>
    oauth_timestamp=&quot;1378405866&quot;,
</div>
<div>
    oauth_nonce=&quot;e91dd2cca23f429e6e45a049bb856817&quot;,
</div>
<div>
    oauth_token=&quot;1d45c97961754fa4b4813fd9e756c5e9&quot;,
</div>
<div>
    oauth_version=&quot;1.0&quot;'

response is 401 Unauthorized.

But if I send the same OAuth Authorization header parameters as simple request parameters. I get 200 OK response.

Looks like jazz server somehow ignores header passed Authorization data. Would like to know why? And is there any way to make it work?

The Jazz based version of form based authentication with OAuth uses it's own set of headers.

Did you look the requests/responses when logging in to an application (with firebug or alike)?
Another option is checking how authentication is done in the OSLC workshop document and code which you find starting here.

No I haven't.
I wanted to make some kind generic authentication for different oslc providers.

What headers Jazz uses for oAuth authentication? Is it possible some how send authenticated requests with standard oAuth headers?

No don't think Jazz support the standard OAuth dance. Once red in a Jazz article that Jazz servers are structured as OAuth Providers, but have their own implementation details. And DNG delegates authentication to JTS and only supports form-based authentication.

Besides the two info resources I mentioned above, hope these two articles will also help you:
- Jazz Server Authentication Explained
- Authentication of a native client with a Jazz-based application
