Issue

  • Post generating the session ID using the login API call, the generated session ID is being used to run the follow up API calls, however an Invalid session id received error message is thrown. 

[root@xxxxxxxx ~]# curl -k -H 'username: ' -H 'password: ' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST https://10.225.xx.xx/external-api/v1/login/
{"sessionId":"4a84bce3-b086-4df6-b209-fbff6a54bb55"}[root@xxxxxxxx ~]#
[root@xxxxxxxx ~]#
[root@xxxxxxxx ~]# curl -vv -k -H 'Authorization: 4a84bce3-b086-4df6-b209-fbff6a54bb55' -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X GET https://10.225.xx.xx/external-api/v1/discovery/fabrics
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, GET is already inferred.

  • The session ID is associated with the host IP address that performed the initial login.If there is an HTTPS proxy in use, the IP address could change, and the session ID would appear invalid.However, the host is not using a proxy for HTTPS.
  • SANnav logs only has one reference to the IP address:
    authentication-rbac-mw - [INFO ] 2024-04-01 16:45:07.665 [http-nio-12009-exec-3] com.brocade.dcm.authentication.server.controller.AuthenticationController - Login Request from client : 10.1.xx.xx with isGlobal flag: [null]
    authentication-rbac-mw - [INFO ] 2024-04-01 16:45:07.727 [http-nio-12009-exec-3] com.brocade.dcm.authentication.server.controller.AuthenticationController - Authentication successful and sessionId is e947f2c3-d66e-4c01-8655-cd05f129d9e0 for user ROuser, client 10.1.xx.xx
    10.1.42.81 - - [01/Apr/2024:16:45:07 +0530] "POST /external-api/v1/login/ HTTP/2.0" 200 52 "-" "curl/7.61.1"

 

  • If the session ID from this date is known, it should still be usable for subsequent REST commands, or it can be logged out.
  • REST can also be used in session-less mode, which does not use session IDs.
  • Tried session less authentication as well, but  authentication fails with invalid username and password error However, same credentials are working fine through GUI console.

 

All the test logins fail in the same way:
