Ok, I am stuck on this and need some help. I was able to get his to work for active backup for business on my baremetal test bulid. All went well so I finished installing all the hardware and setup for a fresh install. Now no matter what I do I get the {"error":{"code":400},"success":false} on the first step.

 

http://192.168.1.246:5000//webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=****&******=PASS                                             *=protected information.

 

What am i doing incorrectly here. cant move on until i figure out why it does not like my user and passwd.  all lower case, no specials letters or numbers or anything. IDK, HELP PLEASE.

If fred is your account, and pw is your password, the string looks like this:

/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=fred&passwd=pw

 

That is not what you put in the post prior.

flyride, Thank you!! In my hours of frustrations I completely overlooked the fact that I am stupid and incorrectly edited the URL's. Followed the mistake you pointed out and BOOM, good to go. Thank you for helping me see my mistake and getting this going. 

 

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

Okay, been trying to get this to work for an hour or so.  I can run the first line in a browser to log into the NAS and it completes successfully.  However, when I try to run the activation line, it returns the following:

 

{"error":{"code":1024,"errors":{"params":{}}},"success":false}

 

Any insight on what I may be doing wrong?  I've tried a few different serial numbers with the same results.  Thanks!

[danellis12561]

Actually, just got it to activate.  Instead of using one of the serial numbers I got from a generator or ebay pics, I tried using the serial listed in the control panel of the DSM.  I thought this was the serial number of the physical box I have (Datto XL1000 4 bay NAS), but I'm guessing it may have been a generic Synology serial number from the loader or something.

[pippobimbo]

Works like a charm. Thank you!

Метод работает. Большое спасибо!

[goodie]

Having issues with this, could somebody please shed some light on the issue please?

 

I've installed Active Backup for Business and opened the App on the diskstation and have the activate page open.

 

I've visited a new tab and entered https://diskstation:5001/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=mydiskstationadminuser&passwd=mydiskstationadminuserpassword

 

This responds with 

{"success":true}

This also causes the diskstation tab to refresh and closes Active Backup for Business.

 

I've then visited in the same tab https://diskstation:5001/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=set&version=1&activated=true&serial_number="mydiskstationcontrolpanelserialwhicisthedefaultonefromgrub.cfg"

 

This responds with

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

 

What am i doing wrong please help?

DSM 7.0.1-42214

I think DSM7 may have modified some variables so that the API cannot be obtained?

 

 

https://*****.com:4920/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=*****&passwd=*****

{"error":{"code":103},"success":false}

 

https://*****.com:4920/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=set&version=1&activated=true&serial_number="1160PDN003634"

{"error":{"code":105},"success":false}

 

 

I adopted an emergency solution:

Open the browser developer tools (F12).

Use the mouse to select the "Activate ABB" DVI layer.

Look up for the nested DVI layers and delete them completely.

After you configure it, although the kit is not activated, it can still work continuously!

 

Note that if you find that you cannot click the package area normally, it means that your DVI layer has not been completely deleted. Please continue to search with the mouse.

 

我采用了应急解决方案：
打开浏览器开发者工具（F12）。
用鼠标选中“激活ABB”DVI层。
向上寻找被嵌套的DVI层，并完整删除它们。
当你配置完毕后，虽然套件没有激活，但仍然可以持续工作！

注意，如果你发现无法正常点击该套件区域，代表着你的DVI层没有完整删除掉，请继续用鼠标寻找。

@mackuo,  Thanks for tag me on this!   I believe I may have been at too down level of a version of DSM.  I'm in the process of rebuilding the system with newer code and will try again.

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
