VCSA Authentication via rest API not working

[andrew_coder]

Any idea why my Authentication not working via RESTAPI call to VCSA ? I am using VCSA 7.0.3

I created new local user with read only access. I tested via web portal login, it is working fine. But when I tested API login via postman or curl, python, I get always this error message : UNAUTHENTICATED, Authentication required." Even though, I used the same user login credentials. I tested also with my admin user, same error.

Maybe this can help: https://www.vgemba.net/vmware/VCSA-API-Postman/

Can you try using the URL: https://vcenterFQDN/api/session

Thanks for hint.

Yes, issue was wrong API endpoint. Correct is https://{api_host}/api/session

Finally working !
