Good morning,

I am posting this message because since the upgrade to version 2.5 of WAPT, we have been experiencing problems using the Ansible API.
Indeed, we have seen that since this version, a certificate must be used.
We have therefore associated a certificate with the account historically used on the server, but the problem persists with the following error message:
401 Unauthorized
Are there other things to check?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Frédéric,

could you specify which call you're making from Ansible, and which API URL you're calling?

Authentication is now required to retrieve a session cookie. You can see a code example here [1]. It contains the necessary Python code for authentication using the `waptlicences.waptserver_login()` function, which allows you to retrieve an authenticated session.

Regards,

Denis
