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* 🍻
