kb: bug ABT: Group B

Applicable to:

  • Plesk for Linux

Symptoms

  • Unable to run an API request due to the following error:

    # curl -k -u johndoe:@password -X POST -d @domain.json "https://203.0.113.2:8443/api/v2/domains"

    {
    "code": 0,
    "message": "Can not find client by login 'johndoe'"
    }

  • Where johndoe account is the additional Plesk administrator account.

Cause

API requests cannot be executed under additional Plesk administrator accounts.

It is the Plesk bug #EXTREST-87 which will be fixed in future product updates.

Resolution

Until a fix will be available please execute API request using built-in "admin" account as workaround:

# curl -k -u admin:@password -X POST -d @domain.json "https://203.0.113.2:8443/api/v2/domains"

{
"id": 4,

}
