Hi,

Hope you can help me figure why this has stopped working. I am now on Joomla 3.8.8

Using Postman GET

1. www.SITENAMEWASHERE.co.uk/index.php/endpoint/post/user/login?username=THEUSERNAME&password=THEPASSWORD

2. I get an ok response.

3. www.SITENAMEWASHERE.co.uk/index.php/endpoint/get/user/profile

4. I get a ko response, user not logged in! I guess step 3 isn't aware I just did step 1.

I have it set to use session_id. I hope you can advise how I troubleshoot this. Do I need to include the session_id in step 3?

Thx, Darrell

Hi,

Once I have logged in and then try to get the user profile, I now always get user not logged in error. I am testing in Postman and Joomla 3.8.8

1. www.SITEURL.co.uk/index.php/endpoint/post/user/login?username=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD
2. I get an ok response and a session_id
3. www.SITEURL.co.uk/index.php/endpoint/get/user/profile
4. I get a ko response user not logged in.

Step 3 doesn't know I just did Step 1.

I hope you can advise how I can troubleshoot the issue.

Thx, Darrell

Hi Luigi,

If I wanted to use session_id instead how would I do that? Do I need to include the session_id somehow in the www.SITEURL.co.uk/index.php/endpoint/get/user/profile request?

I just checked the cookies in the request headers.

Step 1 has two cookies and a third one that states logged in under joomla_user_state. When I then do step 3 the two cookies are still there with the same values but the joomla_user_state has gone. My steps 3 fails with "error_code": "USR_UNL". It didn't used to do this!

Also, if I tried doing multiple logins before doing a logout I used to get the already logged in error. Now, I can just keep logging in over and over without any error. It always returns a new session_id (and cookies).

I hope you can help.

Thx, Darrell

Hi,

This is what I am doing in Postman. Can you advise on what I am doing wrong?

1. www.WEBSITE.co.uk/index.php/endpoint/post/user/login?username=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD

{
"status": "ok",
"userid": "1993",
"username": "USERNAME",
"session_id": "9vcvj0t8gcgj3p9v4nvbkm6v76"
}

2. www.WEBSITE.co.uk/index.php/endpoint/get/user/profile?session_id=9vcvj0t8gcgj3p9v4nvbkm6v76

{
"status": "ko",
"error_code": "USR_UNL",
"error_description": "User not logged in"
}

I always get USE_UNL no matter if I use cookies or try to use session_id when getting the profile.

If I do step 1 over and over, I don't get the "already logged in" error, I just get another different cookie or session_id.

I hope you can help.

Thx, Darrell
