401 error in aikau while making Repo request

Question

I was trying to help the below quention, with a simple example. could-anyone-provide-aikau-form-example-with-data-loading

Basically, I would do a repo request when the form dialog loads and wanted to display the document libray noderef in the dialog. So I called makeRepoRequest() during dialog load, but the network tab throws 401 error.

Please let me know, what is wrong with this sample?

/* studentForm.get.js */
function makeRepoRequest()
{
    var alfDestination = "something";


    var site = page.url.templateArgs.site;
    var result = remote.call("/slingshot/doclib/container/" + site + "/documentLibrary");
    return result.status.code;
    if (result.status.code == status.STATUS_OK) {
        alfDestination = JSON.parse(result).container.nodeRef;
    }
}

var formControls = [
  {
    name: "alfresco/forms/controls/TextBox",
    config: {
      name: "name1",
      label:"Name",
      placeHolder:"Enter Name Here",
      visibilityConfig: {
        initialValue: true
      }
    }
  },
  {
    name: "alfresco/forms/controls/TextBox",
    config: {
      label:"Age",
      name: "age",
      placeHolder:"Enter Age Here",
      visibilityConfig: {
        initialValue: true
      }
    }
  }
  ,
  {
    name: "alfresco/forms/controls/TextBox",
    config: {
      label:"NodeRef",
      name: "nodeRef",
      visibilityConfig: {
        initialValue: true
      },
      value : makeRepoRequest()
    }
  }
];

var showDialog = {
  name: "alfresco/buttons/AlfButton",

  config: {
    readOnly:"true",
    id:"dialog1",
    label: "Create New Student",
    additionalCssClasses: "call-to-action",
    publishTopic: "ALF_CREATE_FORM_DIALOG_REQUEST",
    publishPayloadType: "PROCESS",
    publishPayload: {
      dialogTitle: "Student Form",
      dialogConfirmationButtonTitle: "Register",
      dialogCancellationButtonTitle: "Cancel",
      formSubmissionTopic: "ALF_CRUD_CREATE",
      formSubmissionPayloadMixin: {
        url: "api/type/cm%3Astudent/formprocessor"
      },
      fixedWidth: true,
      widgets: formControls
    }
  }
};

model.jsonModel = {
widgets :[showDialog 
         ],
services : [
            "alfresco/dialogs/AlfDialogService",
            "alfresco/services/CrudService" 
        ]     
};

A 401 status code indicates that the user is not authenticated. Where are you running on this code? Is it on Share or a standalone Aikau client? Is the user logged in? Do they have the necessary permissions to access that API? Are they a member of the site? What privacy does the site have?

Sorry for the missing info. It is running on Alfresco Share and user name is admin the site has public visibility. – Muralidharan Deenathayalan Dec 12 '16 at 09:52

And you've logged in before running the code? What happens if you try to use that URL directly from the browser where you've logged in? – Dave Draper Dec 12 '16 at 10:25

i have tested your code with giving my site name statically(ex demo ) in alfreso sdk , it working fine and gives me nodeRef using this code

function makeRepoRequest()
{
var alfDestination = "something";


var site = "demo";
var result = remote.call("/slingshot/doclib/container/" + site + "/documentLibrary");

if (result.status.code == status.STATUS_OK) {
    alfDestination = JSON.parse(result).container.nodeRef;
}
 return alfDestination ;
}

have you tested that whatever site name is getting is correct? i have tested this code using browser url.
