How to use username and password in REST API?

[lancelodliu]

I want to use GET request to http://username:password@127.0.0.1:8010/api/v2/forceschedulers/{schedulername} to get information of the specified scheduler. Is there any reference?
At this time, I got a error message like this:

If I set cookies TWISTED_SESSION to a value already got, it is ok. But I need to use REST API in my automated system. Is there a way to achive this like the oauth2 way?

Setting auth header doesn't work either.

Doc says

Once credentials have been established, a cookie will be set, which must be sent to the buildbot REST API with every request thereafter.

I found it could be done like this.

import requests
import json

data = {
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method":"force",
    "id":843,
    "params":{
        "p1":1, 
    }
}
url = '127.0.0.1:8010'
s = requests.session()
s.head('http://{}/auth/login'.format(url), auth=('qsmobile', 'qsmobile'), proxies={'http':None})
r = s.post('http://{}/api/v2/forceschedulers/ForceBuild_Scheduler'.format(url), headers={'Content-Type':'application/json'}, data=json.dumps(data), proxies={'http':None})

Could you please add your scheduler and auth-roles from master.cfg?
This definitely should be in docs!

@seankelly please, add #documentation #needs docs labels here :) (just not to miss it, and I want to fix it)

master.cfg:

c['www'] = dict(port=8010,
                plugins=dict(
                    waterfall_view=True, 
                    console_view=True),
                allowed_origins=["*"]
                )
c['www']['authz'] = util.Authz(
        allowRules = [
            util.AnyControlEndpointMatcher(role="admins")
        ],
        roleMatchers = [
            util.RolesFromUsername(roles=['admins'], usernames=['qsmobile', 'qsmobile'])
        ]
)
c['www']['auth'] = util.UserPasswordAuth([('qsmobile','qsmobile')])

scheduler:

ForceBuild_Scheduler = ForceScheduler(
    name="ForceBuild_Scheduler",
    label=u"force",
    builderNames=["BuildEntry_Builder"],
    username=util.UserNameParameter(hide=True),
    reason=util.StringParameter(name="reason", default="force build", hide=True),
    codebases=[util.CodebaseParameter(codebase='', hide=True)],
    properties=[util.IntParameter(name="param1",
                                      label=u"param1",
                                      default=1)])

I faced this as well while trying to figure out how to Authenticate the REST API. Current documentation doesn't explain that well. It would be nice to have the documentation updated.
