LotusScript GetDocumentByURL not authenticating in scheduled agent












1















I have a LotusScript agent that works manually when run from the Notes client menu but fails when run as a scheduled agent on the server. The agent gets a web page using the GetDocumentByURL method.



url$="http://example.com/notesdb.nsf/XAgent.xsp?documentId="+ Quotesdoc.Universalid +"&action=openDocument&login"

Print("url "+ url$)

Set doc = db.GetDocumentByURL(url$, 1, , , "username", "password")
Set rtitem = doc.GetFirstItem( "Body" )
body$ = rtitem.text

Print("status "+body$)


From the Notes client, the agent will authenticate and return a JSON object. But from a scheduled agent on the server, the authentication appears to fail as the response is 200, login failed.



The Web Retriever service is running, and the web.nsf db has a Cookies view, but the server log shows:



11/13/2018 07:07:36 PM  AMgr: Agent ('Scheduled Agent' in 'mailmailer.nsf') printing: url http://example.com/notesdb.nsf/XAgent.xsp?documentId=61D46EE586868DBA85256C84005414B9&action=openDocument&login
11/13/2018 07:07:36 PM WEB(3): Unable to find design note for view 'Cookies': Entry not found in index
11/13/2018 07:07:36 PM AMgr: Agent ('Scheduled Agent' in 'mailmailer.nsf') printing: status Forgot password?


My guess is that the SessionID is not being passed via a cookie and the authentication is failing. Ideas?

    this method imho is built to be used in context with the Server Web Navigator database. Is the Web Navigator retrieval process running on your machine? - also I find it curious that your URL ends with "&login"; this usually pops up a login dialog or login page depending on the way you set up your Domino server

  • I don't think I've seen getDocumentByURL used in 15 years. If you're running on Windows, is there a reason you're going that way rather than using XmlHttpRequest instead?

  • Or for that matter, why not access the database using the regular Notes classes? That way signatures and authentication and such are already handled.
