Error when accessing Project Server through Postman using Bearer authentication
I'm trying to access our project web app using Project Server's REST API. I have already went though the configuration from Registering a new App : https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_layouts/15/appregnew.aspx
Then, I created the authorization settings https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/_layouts/15/appinv.aspx
with this XML Permission Request.
<AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true">
<AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/sitecollection/web" Right="FullControl" />
</AppPermissionRequests>
I was easily able to retrieve the Bearer Token for the request in Postman, so I guess the above steps worked fine.
I receive an error when I try to access any of the endpoints using the given Bearer Token : {{site_url}}/_api/ProjectServer/{{some_endpoint}}
(I've also tried using ProjectData instead of ProjectServer, but no luck either)
When I click Send I received the following message
{
"error": {
"code": "-1, System.InvalidOperationException",
"message": {
"lang": "fr-FR",
"value": "User:<customercontent></customercontent> not found in Active directory or in project db."
}
}
}
I've literally checked every thread about the subject, but I can't seem to find any workaround. Have I missed a step? It seems like the authentication is trying to find a user in AD or in the Project Database instead of using the Bearer authentication. I've tried entering this URL in a browser AFTER I authenticated with my Microsoft account, and it worked.
Also, every time I tried to post a question on Microsoft Support, I have been redirected over and over. It's been weeks and I still haven't found a way to make this work.
