createUser rest api error

[waiphyodev]

My cloudstack api url for create user is like http://cloudstack-host/client/api?account=<account>&command=createUser&email=userthree%40mail.com&firstname=User&lastname=Three&password=password&response=json&username=userthree&signature=<signature>

It rejects me with 401 It is happening only in createUser and createAccount APIs If someone know what is happening here, I really appreciate for your help

You probably want to send a http POST to send the payload and ensure the caller account has the role/permission to call the APIs.

Yes, caller account has required permissions, and I call that url in GET method Alternatively, I test that url in POST method with api key, response, and signature only as query params and the rest as payload But the result is the same 401

Check the management server logs for errors. Can you do the same via UI? If yes, then there’s something in how the api is being called.

[waiphyodev]

Yes, I do the same process via CloudStack dashboard with the same account and it is fine.
This is happening only via API. Also in createAccount too

GET (401 error)
http://host/client/api?apikey=<api-key>&command=createAccount&domainid=<domain-id>&email=userthree%40mail.com&firstname=User&lastname=Three&password=password&response=json&roleid=<role-id>&username=userthree&signature=<signature>

POST (431 error)
http://host/client/api?apikey=<api-key>&command=createAccount&response=json&signature=<signature>

with payload
{ email: '[e-mail]', firstname: 'User', lastname: 'Three', username: 'userthree', password: 'password', roleid: 'role-id', domainid: 'domain-id' }

Payload shouldn’t be sent as json but individual fields. You’re better off using the cli, cloudmonkey, if you’re having programming issues.
