REST-API Authorization

[Petro O. Bochan]

Howdy, on this page https://docs.flashphoner.com/display/WCS52EN/API+overview#APIoverview-Authorization it is described how to turn on authorisation for rest apis. I was searching but couldn't find an example on how to use "authorised" rest api calls. Without any params I'm getting "WWW-Authonticate WCS Realm" response in the headers. How do I properly call rest apis with "disable_rest_auth=false"?

Good day.
You should use Basic authorization, for example:

curl -u user:password -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:8081/rest-api/stream/find -d '{"published":true,"display":["metrics"]}'

You should use the same user credentials as in web dashboard (admin and demo users by default). You can add a new user by CLI:
Using and accessing command line
Users management
