Solved: Enabling web api - Page 2

Steven_Bade · ‎2018-02-26

Probably a really basic question, but i can't seem to find anything. I'm attempting a simple login to R80.10 via the api. I'm using postman, when i send the POST i get a web page returned instead of json.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9,EmulateIE8">

Try again. It takes some moments for CPM to start. You can also check CPM status any time from CLI, just run $FWDIR/scripts/cpm_status.sh from expert shell.
