API Key Authentication

Software Support
1

Hello,

I’m having difficulties accessing the API with authentication with the token generated. I am using the latest version (ojs-3.2.0-3) and I can access it when I’m logged in.

I have setup the config.inc.php with a salt and an api_key_secret long enough. I keep getting the error of accessDenied.

Only thing I found is that when selected both boxes in the User Account in Profile > API Key, they do not stay select and the API Token does not change.
Where in the database is this information kept? I could try to manually select both options.

If you can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Regards,

Hi @k457,

You may be encountering Issues · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub there’s a (draft) patch there that should resolve it. If it works for you, please let us know so we can prioritize this for the next release.

Thanks,
