I *had* no luck on the latest DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 1. But in the end this is how it worked on my side

 

 

When i follow the suggested steps in here i can get the auth cookie (no matter if with or without a space in the url which makes no difference on my side)

 

I tried it in initially with *firefox*

 

MYIP = your xpenology IP

MYUSER = the user on the synology

MYPASSWORD = the password on the synology

MYXPENOLOGYSERIAL = the serial as copied from the control panel info about

 

https://MYIP:5001/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&version=3&method=login&account=MYUSER&passwd=MYPASSWORD&format=cookie

{

    "data": {
        "did": "somecrypticpayload",
        "sid": "anothercrypticpayload"
    },
    "success": true
}

 

https://MYIP:5001/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=set&version=1&activated=true&serial_number=MYXPENOLOGYSERIAL

{

 

    "error": {
        "code": 119
    },
    "success": false
}

 

From the offical documenation it says 119 SID not found

https://global.download.synology.com/download/Document/Software/DeveloperGuide/Package/FileStation/All/enu/Synology_File_Station_API_Guide.pdf

 

So i assumed the auth information is not passed from the first to the second request in firefox.

So i tried it in chrome and *voila*

 

{
    "data": {
        "activated": true
    },
    "success": true
}

 

*Cheers* 🍻

 

This works for me. I tried on Firefox and it done. Thank you very much.
