Error 401 - Groups (Working in Postman but neither in Vue Js neither in Php)

Hello,

I'm using a demo access to the worldcheck api.

I have my key and my secret key.

Postman is working. I have access and results.

I've 401 Unauthorised Access problems when I try to implement the access through frontend (vuejs using either fetch or axios) or through backend (php).

For vue js, I adapted the nodejs example. And the code is really similar (javascript in both cases).

I also compared the authorization header i'm getting in postman and in vue js and they are identical.

Here is an example :

- Vue JS -
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 14:39:52 GMT
Authorization: Signature keyId="******************************",algorithm="hmac-sha256",headers="(request-target) host date",signature="bhT39ij/iE1851ZH402zYahPmAEZtkK/riL/CQvvM4w="

- PostMan
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 14:39:52 GMT
Authorization: Signature keyId="***************************",algorithm="hmac-sha256",headers="(request-target) host date",signature="bhT39ij/iE1851ZH402zYahPmAEZtkK/riL/CQvvM4w="


I would welcome any support or hint of explorations.

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,
Emmanuel

Here is the vue js code :

var gatewayurl = process.env.worldcheck.WC1_GATEWAYURL;

var authorisation = 'Signature keyId="' + apikey + '",algorithm="hmac-sha256",headers="(request-target) host date",signature="' + hmac + '"';

// GET headers is just date & authorization, no body
var headers = {"Date": date, "Authorization": authorisation};

Hi,

on the PHP code front, I see that when you are declaring the hmac function you are missing a parameter "raw_output".

"$hmac_brut = hash_hmac('sha256', $dataToSign, $apisecretkey); "

Can you please go through the below link for more insights

https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.hash-hmac.php

And about the node.js request, can you please share the complete request and response headers so that we can investigate it further?


Regards,

Mehran Khan

Hi Mehran,

Thank you very much for your hint in php. It helped to solve the problem. I will get it through backend.
In case you have any clue for the front end part (why does it not work), I added any the detailed information below.

Anyway I can now go on, and many thanks.


Best regards,
Emmanuel



- Vue JS
I'm not using node js but vue js, a front-end framework in javascript with axios or fetch (<=> ajax) to access data.
In this configuration, I compared the hmac between postman and vuejs and it's the same.
I managed to send the request at the same second so it's easy to compare.


--> Here is the node js native code postman give to me :

var http = require("https");

var options = {

"Host": "rms-world-check-one-api-pilot.thomsonreuters.com",
"Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate",
"Connection": "keep-alive",
"cache-control": "no-cache"
}
};

var req = http.request(options, function (res) {
var chunks = [];

res.on("data", function (chunk) {
chunks.push(chunk);
});

res.on("end", function () {
var body = Buffer.concat(chunks);
console.log(body.toString());
});
});

req.end();


--> Here is the httt request postman give to me :
