{
“error”: “security/Unauthorized”,
“message”: “Full authentication is required to access this resource”,
“info”: " unavailable link"
}
my tenant id is : env658352 and my auth is in this form : base64 encoded tenant/username:password
i also tried base64 encoded username:password

edit : the tenant/username:password are from another user that i created because i couldn’t do it with the primary account as it is “managed through your authorization server”

What url are you accessing?

env658352.eu-latest.cumulocity(.com)/devicecontrol/newDeviceRequests

It is possible. Can you double check the credentials and url?

I just checked following your method and it seems like my auth is at fault, could it my base64 encoding ?

It could be. Why not just enter plain text in the Username and Password fields in Postman?

Just some notes:

  • Easiest would be indeed to use Postmans User/Pass Fields
  • When not using that, make sure you are using as Authentication Header “Authorization: Basic {base64 encoded tenant/user:password}”. I see you did not set the "Basic " in front of your base64-auth above
  • Is the tenant using SSO? If yes, note that your SSO User/Pass won’t work with Postman.
