Hello,

I would like to know how to connect to the server in order to send an event from our system using HTTP Generic Events.

I am working with C++ and the cURL library. I am mainly having issues with authentication. An example would be very helpful.

I also need to know if I need to make any modifications to the server configuration.

Thank you!

  I’m currently attempting to work with HTTP Generic Events on the Nx Witness platform but am facing issues with authentication. Specifically, I receive a 401 Unauthorized -- DisabledBasicAndDigest error, indicating that basic or digest authentication methods are not enabled or supported on the server.

  I would greatly appreciate any guidance on the following points:

  1. Credential Setup: Are there specific steps required to configure or retrieve credentials for HTTP Generic Events in the Nx Witness system?
  2. Server Configuration: Do I need to enable certain settings within the server for HTTP Generic Events, or is there a specific configuration necessary to allow this type of access?
  3. Alternative Authentication: If basic or digest authentication is not available, what is the recommended approach to authenticate HTTP requests for Generic Events? Is there a token-based method or another alternative?
