[closed] HTTP 403 when trying to call the GitHub WebHook using curl
Currently I'm trying to integrate GitHub (hosted in a cloud) with an internal RTC System. As the systems have no direct connection I'm using a runner which is called inside the internal network.
The runner invokes the following curl statement:
curl -X POST --data /net/XXX/fs0/ALM-actions-runner/_work/_temp/_github_workflow/event.json "$RTC_GITHUB_ENDPOINT" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "x-github-event: push"
But I always receive a HTTP 403 as a response. So my question why does calling the URL not work?
GIT Access is granted in RTC. I've also tried it with a functional user. And I tried using a secret but for this my question would be how to pass the secret to the Git WebHook? What is the proper parameter name for it? I've tried several ones but nothing had worked.
E.g. curl -X POST --data $GITHUB_EVENT_PATH "$RTC_GITHUB_ENDPOINT" -H "$HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE" -H "$HEADER_GITHUB_EVENT" -H "X-Hub-Signature: sha1=MY_HASH"
Thanks for any help!

Accepted answer
if someone is interested in the solution. This solved my problem:
Example shell script:
COOKIES=./cookies.txt
USER=xxx
PASSWORD="sha1=xxx"
HOST="xxx"
curl -k -c $COOKIES "$HOST/authenticated/identity"
curl -k -L -b $COOKIES -c $COOKIES -d j_username=$USER -d j_password=$PASSWORD "$HOST/authenticated/j_security_check"
RTC_GITHUB_ENDPOINT="xxx"
HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE="Content-Type: application/json"
HEADER_GITHUB_EVENT="x-github-event: push"
curl -k -b $COOKIES -X POST --data "@data_prd.json" "$RTC_GITHUB_ENDPOINT" -H "$HEADER_CONTENT_TYPE" -H "$HEADER_GITHUB_EVENT"
