Question
1

password=helloworld123456’
{
“id”: 1,
“jsonrpc”: “2.0”,
“result”: {
“error”: {
“code”: -500,
“message”: “argument of type ‘type’ is not iterable”
},

Hi Nicke,

you could take a look at /usr/bin/privacyidea-fetchssh.sh if you want to
do something with curl and the API.
Even this script is very poor written and maybe not ready for production
use, you could get some useful information out of it.

I have a newer script which is not yet ready since I am waiting for an
email from Cornelius about some questions.

@Cornelius
I wrote you an email some time ago about the fetching of ssh keys. Did
you get the message and could you answer the questions?

Kind regards

The Auth endpoint is only used when an administrator want to use the
REST API to perform some tasks via the REST API.

If you want to check the users token, you can to this with the API
15.1.1.3. Validate endpoints — privacyIDEA 3.8 documentation

Kind regards
Cornelius
