Hi,

My role is an operator and I'm trying below SCOM login api using postman and i'm getting 401 error. I have followed their official documentation.

POST http://<Servername>/OperationsManager/authenticate

Request is like below :

POST /OperationsManager/authenticate HTTP/1.1
Host: hostname
Content-Type: application/json
Cache-Control: no-cache
Postman-Token: token

{"credentials":"EncodedString(Network:domain\username:password)"}

And also i tried some get calls using browser and those are working.
Someone please assist. Thanks in advance!

    Hi @Udesh Chathuranga Sendanayake ,

    I wrote a quickstart blog post about SCOM REST API, I suggest you have a look at my examples there:

    https://thesystemcenterblog.com/2020/07/09/quick-start-scom-rest-api/

    My examples use PowerShell which is a modern but also a great way if you want to start automating.
