I am trying to upgrade Sitecore Commerce 9 Initial Release to Update 1. One of the steps is to do bootstrap in Postman. When I do it, I am getting this exception:

Status Code: 401; Unauthorized

Steps to reproduce:

  1. I have already set "AntiForgeryEnabled" in config.json to false for Authoring and also for DevOps sites

  2. In Postman, I have disabled "SSL certificate verification" in Settings

  3. In Sitecore Collection in Postman, I have run GetToken command to get the authorization token

  4. I run "Bootstrap Sitecore Commerce" under "1 Environment Bootstrap" section of "SitecoreCommerce_DevOps" collection. Habitat Environment is chosen

How should I make my request for bootstrapping authorized?

What should I specify as SitecoreIdToken in Headers in Authorization key?

  • Do you have any information in your Commerce Authoring logs, when executing boostrap command? There may be an issue related to Postman (it is not saving token to global variables if the variable is not yet created). So your second request (bootstrap) doesn't contain this token. Another possible issue is your custom domain names and incorrect configuration for IdentityServer. In this case, you will find more info in logs.

When you trigger GetToken command you should get SitecoreIdToken set to your global variables. This is done on 'Tests' tab via the following command

postman.setGlobalVariable("SitecoreIdToken", "Bearer " + jsonData.access_token);

You can check your variables by clicking 'Eye' icon next to environment. enter image description here

If the GetToken response is not saved to Global Variable, then you may need to create it with empty or dummy value and it will be automatically updated on your next GetToken call.

So you don't need to copy the token for each Postman script.

I have found quick fix for my question.

1) You need to open "Collections" pane in Postman and open "Authentication" collection. Expand "Sitecore" section and click "GetToken". Click on blue "Send" button to get authorization token.

2) Copy the token to notepad and add "Bearer " before it. Something like this: enter image description here

3) In "Collections" pane, open "SitecoreCommerce_DevOps" collection. Expand "1 Environment Bootstrap" section and click "Bootstrap Sitecore Commerce".

Open "Headers" and put text generated in step 2 into Value column of "Authorization" key.

4) Everything will now work out :)

Best solution would be to create global variable "SitecoreIdToken" in Postman and set it with text generated in step 2. With this approach "SitecoreIdToken" will be always applied for any request...
