Getting status code 997 when create the user in owncloud

I am trying to create the user through owncloud User Provisioning API, when trying to request the below api:

curl -X POST http://admin:secret@localhost/owncloud/ocs/v1.php/cloud/users -d userid="user1" -d password="user1"

I get the response:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ocs>
 <meta>
  <status>failure</status>
  <statuscode>997</statuscode>
  <message>Unauthorised</message>
 </meta>
 <data/>
</ocs>
Solution

  • That issue was causing due to the secret contained the combination of special character like @. Bellow is sample link

    https://admin:secret@demo.owncloud.com

    look like

    https://admin:abc@12@demo.owncloud.com, where abc@12 is a secret/password.

    Due to two @ symbol in secret, it was taking the domain from the @12 instead of @demo.
