Hi,

 

This option for activate the Active Backup for Business is not functional.

 

When type the first URL:

Login (replace URL, PORT, USER, PASS)

https://URL:PORT/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=USER&passwd=PASS

 

Appear this error:  {"error":{"code":400},"success":false}

 

Any idea??

 

My config is:

 

Ds3615xs

ESXI 6.7

 

 

 

Have u solved the problem ?

 

I met the exactly same problem with those errors,  and I login system before activating ,  It's works!

Hi,

 

the user has to be in the "administrators" group and if the password contains special characters like +?%, you have to encode it first. https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/

 

Example:

 

Username: test

Password: 1+?%abc

has to be encoded to: 1%2B%3F%25abc

 

Result:

https://URL:PORT/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=test&passwd=1%2B%3F%25abc

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

Thanks hoppler for this workaround. I feel like goofy here since somehow it tries to google te url instead of going directly to it. Tried http and https. Odd enough it opens the status successfully.

Hi,

 

the issue is not because of you, but there is a hidden character between PORT and / which causes the browser to search the url instead of opening it. Here is a version without the hidden character:

 

https://URL:PORT/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=USER&passwd=PASS

Yikes! Almost there!

What am I doing wrong now?

btw I have to use http instead of https otherwise I get an unavoidable ssl error (don't know if this relates or not).

Thanks again man!

 

edit: fixed. I'm not sure what kind of black magic is under this (I mean it) since I decided to go to your first post where you address:

https://server:5001/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=set&version=1&activated=true&serial_number="123400"

and edited the data to my case and it worked. 

Moreover, I pasted the links, as a secure step, on a text only textedit just to be sure.

Hello! Im trying these links for Active Backup for Office 365

Quote

for Office365 its the following urls

• Get Activationstatus
  • https://URL:PORT/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackupOffice365&method=get_activation&version=1
• Set ActivationStatus (use your SERIALNUMBER)

[Avogadro]

I get an error 119

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

And with the login url, I get this message "Sorry, the page you are looking for is not found." (from translation)

Does anyone else have this problem?

[Avogadro]

EDIT: Problem solved, insufficient user permissions.

[rockytoptim]

hoppler method worked for me eventually but on first URL I had to turn of two factor authentication on my NAS or I got the error code 402.   I then renable two factor once I got bothURLS to say success. Just FYI to others that may have two factor turned on.

There is a better way^^ Just activate it:

 

In your browser open the following urls one after another:

 

Replace the following: URL, PORT, USER, PASS, SERIALNUMBER (dont replace any other symbols like : oder ")

1. https://URL:PORT/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=USER&passwd=PASS
2. https://URL:PORT/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=set&version=1&activated=true&serial_number="SERIALNUMBER"

To get the current activation status call the 1. query above and then

• https://URL:PORT/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=get&version=1

------------------------------

Example for

url: server,

port: 5001,

user: admin,

pass: admin,

serialnumber: 123400

1. https://server:5001/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=admin&passwd=admin
2. https://server:5001/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=set&version=1&activated=true&serial_number="123400"

This is stupid question.  I got the Active backup activated.  But I can't get it to connect to my esxi server. I open active backup and go to virtual machine, add,  then enter the following.

 

server address: 192.168.1.10 This is the address i use to access the gui in chrome.

web services port:443

data transferport: 902

account: admin

password: password

 

I get error "Fail to connect to the host {192.168.1.10]. Please check the server address, acountt settings and your network settings.

 

I disable synology firewall just to make sure synology wasn't blocking something.

ESXI has firewall rules for  443 & 902.

 

Any help is appreciated

You will need to start SSH and ESXi-Shell in the ESXi host (configuration tab), start the deamon and set the option to "start and stop with the host"

Hi All,

 

Installed Active Backup and Active Backup for Office 365. I was able to activate Active Backup for Business but when I try to activate Active Backup for Office 365, I get the code below.

 

{"error":{"code":102},"success":false}

 

I checked the Installed section and it does show Active Backup for Office 365 as Running.

 

Is the serial different for each package? 

 

Logged in as admin. Again, I didn't have any problems with Active Backup for Business.

 

Thanks!

Nevermind. I got it working after a good night's sleep and reading the instructions again. 

 

Thank you!
