Can anyone help with the Authentication API with the new version 4.0.7?
I have a simple php website that I want to authenticate users by the API of Forma. I have followed the documentation and still does not work.

Hi, you should provide more details. Code used to achieve the auth, what errors do you get, and so on.

This is my simple code below. Is my API call correct? Also, this code worked for FORMA 2.3.0. I am not sure if anything changed.
Code: Select all
$params = array("username"=>'test@test.com', "password"=>'password');
$key = "testtesttest";
$secret = "password";
$codice_sha1 = strtolower(sha1(implode(',', $params) . ',' . $secret));
$codice = base64_encode($key . ":" . $codice_sha1);
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => "https://lms.mylms.com/api/auth/authenticate",
CURLOPT_POST => true,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $params,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
"X-Authorization: FormaLMS " . $codice,
],
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$error = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
$xml = simplexml_load_string($response);
$json = json_encode($xml);
$array = json_decode($json,TRUE);
echo json_encode($array);

What do you obtain?
I mean, $response and/or $error ?

The response data is the 404 server error saying that File or directory not found.

It's the URL to be call correct? I suppose it's not
https://lms.mylms.com/api/auth/authenticate...
If you're not able to debug such an easy problem, I'd suggest to hire a developer or you'll risk more serious issues.

Can you or anyone show me a simple url for the API call?
For Forma version 4.0.7, Which of the follow should be the API url to check for username?
a) lms.forma.com/api/user/checkUsername
b) lms.forma.com/api/rest.php?q=/api/user/checkUsername
or
c) please provide an example URL call to the the rest api.
