Issue/Introduction

We are trying to access the below URL REST API in Postman:

http://<servername:port>/ppm/rest/v1

and it does not work.

However I am able to open the below link

http://<servername:port>/niku/rest/describe/index.html

 

Here is what I see: 

Environment

Release : Any

Resolution

The reason it doesn't work is that it shows 401 Unauthorized.

1. Please go to Authorization - select Basic Auth and enter username/password, then try again.

Here is how it should look:

 

2. Additionally you cannot access /ppm/rest/v1 directly, you have to specify a request. Try using:

/ppm/rest/v1/projects

The list of other requests you can use is available below, please check it out: Clarity REST Documentation
