Can’t create user with curl

question-zammad · November 7, 2019, 2:54pm

Infos:

Fresh installed up to date Debian 9 with zammad (3.1.x) installation via DEB
Windows 7 32 Bit - commandline - curl-7.66.0-win32-mingw
command:

curl -u test@zammad.com:test123 -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"firstname":"Bob","lastname":"Smith","email":"email_of_customer@example.com","roles":["Customer"],"password":"some_password"}' https://xxx.zammad.com/api/v1/users

Has anyone an idea how to fix this issue
Thanks

Expected behavior:

Create a new user at zammad

Actual behavior:

I got no message after sending this command, nothing happens
the zammad log shows an fatal error:

Please provide the original code snippet that you’re using, because the error message indicates you’ve done something different than your code snippet you provided does.

closely watched, I have tested so much code snippets, here are a few of my attempts:

curl -u test@zammad.com:test123 -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d "{"login":"bobsmithlogin2","firstname":"Bob2","lastname":"Smith2","email":"email_of_bob@example.com","roles":["Customer"],"password":"some_password"}" https://xxx.zammad.com/api/v1/users
curl -u test@zammad.com:test123 -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d "{"login":"bobsmithlogin2","firstname":"Bob2","lastname":"Smith2","email":"email_of_bob@example.com","roles":"Customer","password":"some_password"}" https://xxx.zammad.com/api/v1/users
curl -u test@zammad.com:test123 -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST -d "{"login":"bobsmithlogin2","firstname":"Bob2","lastname":"Smith2","email":"email_of_bob@example.com","roles":"Customer","password":"some_password"}" https://xxx.zammad.com/api/v1/users
curl -u test@zammad.com:test123 -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST -d '{"login":"bobsmithlogin2","firstname":"Bob2","lastname":"Smith2","email":"email_of_bob@example.com","roles":"Customer","password":"some_password"}' https://xxx.zammad.com/api/v1/users

After hours of testing, i found an solution for me:

curl -u test@zammad.com:test123 -X POST -d "login=bobsmithlogin4" -d "firstname=Bob4" -d "lastname=Smith4" -d "email=email_of_bob4@example.com" -d "roles=Customer" -d "password=some_password" https://xxx.zammad.com/api/v1/users

Glad you could solve your issue. Just for completness, this would work as well:

curl -X POST \
  https://domain.tld/api/v1/users \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer mysecret' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"login":"bobsmithlogin2","firstname":"Bob2","lastname":"Smith2","email":"email_of_bob@example.com","roles":"Customer","password":"some_password"}'

Just a small service hint: You should think about using API-Tokens instead of username & password combination, not just for better control, but also performance reasons.

At any time using the API, you should -always- prefer API-Tokens. Above exmaple uses Tokens - you can remove the authorization header and add basic auth headers if needed.
