Posted on by stevenleo

Dear experts,

I'm testing the API NAV 2018 cu 2 to integrate with demo e-commerce website. my problem is i cannot connect to the api from using ip or computer name. with chrome everything is fine, however when i tried using POSTMAN it shows error 401.

>>>> this image shows available api when i access via chrome

>>>> this is the error when i tried using POSTMAN. i tried to change the authentication type to basic, but not working.

I also have followed the steps in another blogpost by saurav. but the image shown in that post all shows using localhost instead of ip or computer name.

anyone can help???

Hi,

Do you have NST authentication as "Windows"? Try to set it as "NavUserPassword"

Had the same issue, Error 401 when using Postman, but everything worked fine from Chrome.

I used NTLM authentication to resolve it.

Set Service Tier to "Use NTLM Authentication" (General Section)

Use Postman (windows application not Chrome extension) and in the Authorization tab select "NTLM Authentication". Enter correct credentials of user in the DB.

Hope this helps

I've run it with Postman only after changing authorization to NTLM on NAV Instance and at Postman. So try this way.

For the password use the Web Service Access Key.

@stefano, yes it is identical.

Is the request Header the same in all two cases (Chrome and Postman)?
