Authentication issues with appKey in HTTP session

Hi,

I am facing some issue regarding appKey and the error code was "HTTP Status 401 - No authType or appKey parameter has been specified for Authentication Scheme: AUTH_THINGWORX_APPKEY"

For example,

If I logout from my composer and try the following link,

http://localhost:80/Thingworx/Mashups/MashUpName?appKey=[myappkey]&x-thingworx-session=true

It shows the error "HTTP Status 401 - No authType or appKey parameter has been specified for Authentication Scheme: AUTH_THINGWORX_APPKEY". Then after refresh that page, it is showing the actual page. I am not able to understand why this behavior was, As soon as i click that link, I want to show the actual page without any error.

Is this an issue?

Thanks,

Alekhya

I think this is an issue of browser access and cookie storage.

Thingworx sometimes requires duplicate log-ins, and I think this bleeds over into their app key authentication.

Maybe setting x-thingworx-session to false will make a difference?

He needs x-thingworx-session to be true to view a mashup using an appkey

but as you mentioned there is some bug in the auth behavior when using an appkey through a browser.

I believe it is on a list of 'to fix' in Dev.

In which version of TW are you planning to fix this issue. We are using TW 7.1 and we are also facing the same issue.
