Getting 401 Unauthorised error while making request with web api request with POST method

Question

We have set up web app + SQL service and a website is working fine, but with web API request with POST method. we are getting 401 error with a message like "You do not have permission to view this directory or page". 

Get Method with API request is working fine and getting a response as a JSON object. 

Answer 1

You may pass the client ID value for the ‘resource’ as mentioned in this similar discussion thread, and see if that makes any difference.

 

In addition, you could use Fiddler to catch some error message to isolate any specific issues.

 

Furthermore, if you enable application logging, you will see authentication and authorization traces directly in your log files. If you enable ‘failed request tracing’, you can see exactly what role the authentication and authorization module may have played in a failed request. In the trace logs, look for references to a module named EasyAuthModule_32/64.
