ODK Collect v1.4.3 does not send username/password

Hi,

I am working on integrating ODK Collect functionality into DHIS2. I have
set up a servlet that implements /formList endpoint. When I set my server
address (http://my-machine:8080), username and password in ODK collect then
ODK collect directly calls the URL http://my-machine:8080/formList but does
not send authentication credentials username/password.

How can I tell ODK collect to send username/password so that I can
authenticate requester with existing dhis user database.

Thanks.

Anum,

Are you using the Collect-Aggregate APIs at
http://opendatakit.org/use/aggregate/data-transfer/#APIs?

Yaw,

At the moment I just put the server URL of my server, username and password
in ODK Collect. How can I tell ODK collect to use Collect-Aggregate APIs
please?

Anum,

Collect already uses those APIs. Per the spec, you have to implement a
servlet that knows about OpenRosa auth and form submission. See
https://bitbucket.org/javarosa/javarosa/wiki/OpenRosaAPI for those
APIs.

Yaw,

How can my servlet class tell the ODK collect to send the authentication
packet using Authentication API, rather than sending 'GET' request on
formList endpoint?

Authentication follows http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617 per
https://bitbucket.org/javarosa/javarosa/wiki/AuthenticationAPI

The standard interaction is that the client sends a request, without
Authentication credentials, and the server then responds with an
authentication challenge.

The client then responds with the requested type of credentials.

So if the server does not demand credentials, the client does not provide
them.

One of the advantages of doing a HEAD request at the start of a submission
is that the client sends very little data during this authentication
challenge, and the actual POST only occurs after authentication has
occurred, saving bandwidth.

You may need to play around a little, and/or take a look at the Collect
sources. It may well try anonymously first, then, if challenged for
authentication credentials (access denied), supply them in a subsequent
request. Not sure, but it's an empirical question. Surely Collect is able
to authenticate to Aggregate -- so you could set up an Aggregate server and
use a sniffer to watch what's happening.

Hi Mitch,

Does ODKCollect 1.4.3 supports 'Basic Authentication'? If yes then what is
the procedure to enable that. I am implement custom aggregate server for
DHIS. I want ODKcollect to authenticate with DHIS through basic
authentication over https.

I could do digest auth which is explained on '
https://bitbucket.org/javarosa/javarosa/wiki/AuthenticationAPI' but I don't
know how to do basic auth.

Thanks

Hi Anum,

Collect supports basic auth. How it communicates with compliant
servers is outlined at
https://bitbucket.org/javarosa/javarosa/wiki/AuthenticationAPI.

Explaining how to do basic auth is beyond the kind of help the mailing
list can provide, but there are plenty of resources online that do
exactly that. If you have a more specific question, then I'm sure the
community is glad to help with that.

Additionally -- note that Basic Auth *requires *an https (TLS) connection
-- ODK Collect only enables this authentication mechanism when https is in
use. This requires an SSL certificate on your server.

Hi Anum,

Collect supports basic auth. How it communicates with compliant
servers is outlined at
https://bitbucket.org/javarosa/javarosa/wiki/AuthenticationAPI.

Explaining how to do basic auth is beyond the kind of help the mailing
list can provide, but there are plenty of resources online that do
exactly that. If you have a more specific question, then I'm sure the
community is glad to help with that.

Hi Mitch,

Does ODKCollect 1.4.3 supports 'Basic Authentication'? If yes then what
is
the procedure to enable that. I am implement custom aggregate server for
DHIS. I want ODKcollect to authenticate with DHIS through basic
authentication over https.

I could do digest auth which is explained on
'https://bitbucket.org/javarosa/javarosa/wiki/AuthenticationAPI' but I
don't
know how to do basic auth.

Thanks

Authentication follows http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617 per
https://bitbucket.org/javarosa/javarosa/wiki/AuthenticationAPI

The standard interaction is that the client sends a request, without
Authentication credentials, and the server then responds with an
authentication challenge.

The client then responds with the requested type of credentials.

So if the server does not demand credentials, the client does not
provide
them.

One of the advantages of doing a HEAD request at the start of a
submission
is that the client sends very little data during this authentication
challenge, and the actual POST only occurs after authentication has
occurred, saving bandwidth.

Anum,

You may need to play around a little, and/or take a look at the Collect
sources. It may well try anonymously first, then, if challenged for
authentication credentials (access denied), supply them in a subsequent
request. Not sure, but it's an empirical question. Surely Collect is
able to
authenticate to Aggregate -- so you could set up an Aggregate server
and use
a sniffer to watch what's happening.

Best,

Chris

Yaw,

How can my servlet class tell the ODK collect to send the
authentication
packet using Authentication API, rather than sending 'GET' request on
formList endpoint?

Thanks

Anum,

Collect already uses those APIs. Per the spec, you have to implement
a
servlet that knows about OpenRosa auth and form submission. See
https://bitbucket.org/javarosa/javarosa/wiki/OpenRosaAPI for those
APIs.

Yaw,

At the moment I just put the server URL of my server, username and
password
in ODK Collect. How can I tell ODK collect to use Collect-Aggregate
APIs
please?

Thanks

Are you using the Collect-Aggregate APIs at

I am working on integrating ODK Collect functionality into
DHIS2.
I have
set
up a servlet that implements /formList endpoint. When I set my

collect
then
ODK collect directly calls the URL
http://my-machine:8080/formList

does
not send authentication credentials username/password.
