One problem is that the API documentation (https://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/api/apidocs-4.3/root_admin/login.html) still says that the password should be hashed. The docs are out of date; send the password in plain text.
And - think about security. DON'T use HTTP GET or the query parameters you send will be saved in the caches of all intermediate servers. Also DO use HTTPS. -----Original Message----- From: Tejas Gadaria [mailto:refond.g...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2014 2:02 AM To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: login API with MD5 is not working Hi, I am trying to login in to CS 4.3 though login API. I am passing MD5 hash (1st) in password that works fine with CS 4.0.2 but same doesn't works well with CS 4.3. Then I try to pass password in plain text ( 2nd) & it worked, Is this a bug? Both APIs are given below, 1) http://10.129.151.55:8080/client/api?&command=login&username=admin&password=5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 2) http://10.129.151.55:8080/client/api?&command=login&username=admin&password=password Regards, Tejas
