Question Plastic SCM REST API Cloud Authentication

Hello,

I am looking to utilize the server REST API with a cloud repo. Documentation for this is appears to be a bit sparse on specifics of working with the cloud, and sometimes have vague "you need to know the base uri of the server" but doesn't suggest how to find that.
I found the answer for that bit here:
https://forum.plasticscm.com/topic/23459-base-uri-of-the-server-that-hosts-your-organization/

However I am now running into "invalid credentials" issues when running a login. I send a post request to:

https://useast4-00-cloud.plasticscm.com:7178/api/v1/login
Also tried:
https://useast4-00-cloud.plasticscm.com:7178/api/v1/organizations/{my-org-name}/login

and I get a 401 with a "username or password are not valid" message. I did send my Unity Id creds there if that may be the issue?

Edit: Upon looking further into this, it appears that when using a server REST API, I must use the full organizations/{my-org}/login calls. And in the docs it mentions that only User/Pass and LDAP authentication works.

Upon looking at my profiles.conf file under %LOCALAPPDATA%/plastic4, I see that the working mode for the server I want to use is "SSOWorkingMode" and I am imagining that is simply not supported?

I am currently now looking into running a client REST API with Python and firing up a "cm api" subprocess to then send REST commands to. Initial testing seems to work okay, though may opt to simply use a cmdrunner sort of setup instead.

 

Hi @AlexRideout,

I've run into the same problem as you, could you provide a few more details on the solution/alternative you followed?

 

Hi @rednbrick,

Is there an estimate on when this functionality will be introduced, or an alternative way to make a Plastic account that is not tied to a Unity ID?

This has broken functionality with build pipelines that had been working fine previously..
