access via https and device/clientid (for signalk-anchoralarm-plugin)

[bjornjm]

Hi,

I am trying to control the anchor status via the REST API. Have searched the documentation and the web for guidance (at least some hours spent) but failed to figured it out so I hope you can provide some guidance.

I think my problems/questions are signalk generic and that I just happend to get stuck in relation to the "signalk-anchoralarm-plugin".

I am running 2.14.0 on a RPI-5 on node v20.19.4
I installed signalk for secure https access:
{"endpoints":{"v1":{"version":"2.14.0","signalk-http":"https://localhost:3443/signalk/v1/api/","signalk-ws":"wss://localhost:3443/signalk/v1/stream","signalk-tcp":"tcp://localhost:8375"}},"server":{"id":"signalk-server-node","version":"2.14.0"}}

From the plugin document I read that I should use

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}' http://localhost:3000/plugins/anchoralarm/dropAnchor

to drop the anchor. If I simply translate to https and use the -k since I have not sorted out my certificates I get:

curl -k -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}' https://localhost:3443/plugins/anchoralarm/dropAnchor
You do not have permission to view this resource, Please Login

My plan was to use a device with a client id to provide access. I followed the documentation and created a device that I have granted read/write access.

How do I included the credentials in my POST?

I have tried to include "clientid" and "token" (shortened) like:
curl -k -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{{"clientId": "e5afb0c0-89e4-495f-9313-70d36ff9bdab", "token":"eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs.......XJqk50o"}' https://localhost:3443/plugins/anchoralarm/dropAnchor

but then I get <title>SyntaxError: Expected property name or '}' in JSON at position 1</title> (shortened) as respons

I also tried to use username/password login but got equally lost...

Thanks!
