I am using HP ALM Version 12.55.113. I am trying to upload test results automatically via REST-API. After authenticating and trying to read a simple defect, I am receiving a 401 not authenticated error. I am retrieving a valid LWSSO and QCSession Cookie, using the following example code:
public class App {
private static final String almURL = "http://something.com/qcbin";
private static final String isAuthenticatedPath = "authentication-point/authenticate";
private static final String qcSiteSession = "rest/site-session";
private static final String authTest = "rest/is-authenticated";
private static final String logoutPath = "authentication-point/logout";
private static String lswoocookie;
private static String qcsessioncookie;
public static String strDomain = "domain";
public static String strProject = "project";
public static String strUserName = "user";
public static String strPassword = "pass";
public static Client client;
public static WebTarget target;
public static Invocation.Builder invocationBuilder;
public static Response res;
private static String getEncodedAuthString() {
String auth = strUserName + ":" + strPassword;
byte[] encodedAuth = Base64.getEncoder().encode(auth.getBytes());
String authHeader = "Basic " + new String(encodedAuth);
return authHeader;
}
private static void loggedIn() {
WebTarget targeta = client.target(almURL).path(authTest);
invocationBuilder = targeta.request();
invocationBuilder.cookie("LWSSO_COOKIE_KEY", lswoocookie);
Response resa = invocationBuilder.get();
System.out.println("Logged in: " + resa);
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
client = ClientBuilder.newBuilder().build();
loggedIn();
/* Get LWSSO Cookie */
target = client.target(almURL).path(isAuthenticatedPath);
invocationBuilder = target.request(new String[] { "application/xml" });
invocationBuilder.header("Authorization", getEncodedAuthString());
res = invocationBuilder.get();
System.out.println(res);
lswoocookie = res.getCookies().get("LWSSO_COOKIE_KEY").getValue();
System.out.println("LSWOO: " + lswoocookie);
/* Get QCSession Cookie */
target = client.target(almURL).path(qcSiteSession);
invocationBuilder = target.request(new String[] { "application/json" });
invocationBuilder.cookie("LWSSO_COOKIE_KEY", lswoocookie);
res = invocationBuilder.post(null);
qcsessioncookie = res.getCookies().get("QCSession").getValue();
System.out.println("QCSession: " + qcsessioncookie);
System.out.println(target);
/* Get the first defect */
String midPoint = "rest/domains/" + strDomain + "/projects/" + strProject;
target = client.target(almURL).path(midPoint).path("defects/1");
invocationBuilder = target.request(new String[] { "application/json" });
invocationBuilder.cookie("LWSSO_COOKIE_KEY", lswoocookie);
invocationBuilder.cookie("QCSession", qcsessioncookie);
res = invocationBuilder.get();
System.out.println(res);
loggedIn();
/* Logout */
target = client.target(almURL).path(logoutPath);
invocationBuilder = target.request();
invocationBuilder.cookie("LWSSO_COOKIE_KEY", lswoocookie);
invocationBuilder.cookie("QCSession", qcsessioncookie);
res = invocationBuilder.post(null);
System.out.println(res);
}
I am getting the following console ouput:
Logged in: InboundJaxrsResponse{context=ClientResponse{method=GET, uri=http://bla.bla:8080/qcbin/rest/is-authenticated, status=401, reason=Authentication failed. Browser based integrations - to login append '?login-form-required=y' to the url you tried to access.}}

Has anyone any idea what I did wrong? Tried so many ways but it never worked. Thanks in advance :)
I guess the problem is due to the content type for QCSession end-point.
