The New Active Backup

[Hemps]

I just get 103 false, on 7.0.1-42218

 

Tried all the workarounds, =cookie as well.

Clean browser etc

Changed password

[Hemps]

 

 

Got it working:

https://ip:port/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&version=3&method=login&account=username&passwd=password&format=%20cookie

at the end leave a space between format =cookie

so dont use format=cookie, rather format= cookie

 

https://ip:port/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=set&version=1&activated=true&serial_number=serialno

 

 

[phone guy]

Does anyone know if there is a command like this for Advanced media extension? (7.1-42661)

Works on 7.1-42661, thanks!

Has anyone been able to get this to work on Active Backup Microsoft 365?  I have used the above method successfully for the Standard version of backup but can't get this working.  I have tried replacing the phrase ActiveBackup with:

activebackupforoffice365

activebackup-office365

activebackupoffice365

 

in the activation url but keep getting error 102 (unknown API)

......ActiveBackup.Activation&method=set&version=1......

 

I got these variations from the activation window of the actual package.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

This is what worked for me. Replace ADDRESS, DEVICESERIALNUMBER and port number if you use non default ports.

 Thanks @Piteball!  I was using "......activebackupoffice365.activation@method...." instead of just "...activebackupoffice365&method....." I just needed to drop the ".activation" and all was good.  Appreciate the help.

its work, but you need make:

 

1 - login on DSM, in browser address line, after https://youripsyno:5001/  paste /webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=USER&passwd=PASS and ENTER.

 

efter ENTER you see 

 

{"success":true}

 

2- after https://youripsyno:5001/ paste  /webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=set&version=1&activated=true&serial_number="SERIALNUMBER"

 

after ENTER you see

 

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

 

3 - if you want verefy after https://youripsyno:5001/ paste /webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=get&version=1

 

after ENTER if it OK you see

 

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

 

I try paste complete address from forum, not work, but my metod work fine, not close page.

 

 

 

Thank you this worked prefect for me,

 

Be aware, I was writing in the serial number the activation request number and was giving me error for obvious reasons, so I went to the info center and copy pasted the serial number and Wala, worked.

 

This is on xpenology DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3

 

Package version 2.4.1-2321

 

Best regards

Thank you, changing the url for step 1 to include the "version=3" and "format=cookie" fixed the problem where i was getting failed activation. 

I was then able to use step 2 and 3 url from original solution to activate and verify, no more activation prompt. Thanks!

[juannet]

Funciona a las mil maravillas. ¡Muchas gracias!

works fine thanks

[vortexxx]

Not work with dsm 7.1.1-42962, but work with 7.1-42661

 

on latest is {"error":{"code":104},"success":false}

[Pandadoo]

in fact, it's working in 7.1.1 42962, but i had similar issue than you.

 

The only way i was able to make it work is to use fake serial number, get the false result THEN use your true serial number.

 

That worked for me.

[MajkelP]

I can confirm that on DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 1 above activation method with serial no. doesn't work. 

 

https://myIP:port/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=set&version=1&activated=true&serial_number="myserial_no"

 

 

 

[vortexxx]

real on DSM 7.1-42661 Update 4 works, later DSM - error

[HorstHoden]

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* 🍻

@HorstHoden - thank you for finding the solution - It worked on Chrome

[MajkelP]

@HorstHoden - good point, in google chrom did it work, but I had to turn off 2FA and YubiKey.

Спасибо!!! Сработало!

К сожалению никак не работает даже в Хроме, версия 7.1.1-42962 Update 1. Второй пункт не выполняется, пишет {"error":{"code":119},"success":false}

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

[tsauf]

В общем, сработала у меня тоже активация, через смартфон активировал. На компьютере, наверное, какие-то расширения препятствовали успешному прохождению второго пункта.

maybe can activate Presto File Server by this method?

Due to different HTML URL encoding for different browsers, confusion arises as to why some steps are not working.  If Chrome does not work, try Edge or Firefox
 

Below are the step that works for me :

Step 1
https://myIP:port/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&version=3&method=login&account=myUser&passwd=myPassword&format=%20cookie

Step 2
https://myIP:port/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=set&version=1&activated=true&serial_number=%22mySerial_no.%22

 

myIP = your xpenology IP
myUser = the admin on the synology
myPassword = the password on the synology
mySerial_no. = the serial as copied from the control panel info 

Side Note :
In HTML URL encoding, 
space = %20
"  =  %22
