Question

Application Key

I am seeing weird behavior for the GetKeyID method. It appears that it is a bug. Can someone please confirm this?

myKey = ApplicationKeys[currentUser].GetKeyID();

The currentUser is part of Administrator group. When I execute the service it returns me the App Key. When I look at System -> Application Keys, I do not see the App Key created.

Thanks,

Preeti

You can't create an app key that way, you should use:

var params = {

  name: "ApplicationKeyName" /* STRING */,

  description: undefined /* STRING */,

  whitelist: undefined /* STRING */,

  user: "UserNameAssignedToThisAppKey" /* USERNAME */,

  tags: undefined /* TAGS */

};

// no return

Resources["EntityServices"].CreateApplicationKey(params);

    Hi Carles,

    Thanks for responding. Yes I am using that to create an app key. But the funny thing is I don't see the App Key created in the UI. However when I use GetKeyID, it is returning me a valid key. It looks like it's reference is still in the database.

    What version of ThingWorx? I just did as Carles suggested, and I see the app key in the UI. I am in 7.2.3

    Hi,

    It maybe a trasactional / Ghost entity problem, if the script which creates the AppKey throws an unhandled exception you can be on the situation you are now. Restart tomcat and check if still you get an AppKey with GetKeyID.

    Carles.
