Higher level overview of ACL and Leadboard services please

Question

I am using some the scoreBoard services in my Unity mobile game without ACL and would now like to add ACL (if that makes sense). So I followed these steps...

- created a new App42 App with ACL enabled

- added an 'AllowAll' key with access granted to All services and All operations.

(This is what gives me a 'Custom Key', which BTW I think should be called 'Custom API Key', do you agree?)

- When trying to submit a user score I get this traceback in Unity:

{"app42Fault":{"httpErrorCode":401,"appErrorCode":1401,"message":"UnAuthorized Access","details":"Client is not authorized"}}

UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object)

com.shephertz.app42.paas.sdk.csharp.App42Log:Console(String)

com.shephertz.app42.paas.sdk.csharp.connection.RESTConnectorAsync:ExecutePost(String, Dictionary`2, String, Dictionary`2)

com.shephertz.app42.paas.sdk.csharp.game.ScoreBoardService:SaveUserScore(String, String, Double)

Highscores:OnSubmitMyScore() (at Assets/30. GUI/Highscores.cs:200)

UnityEngine.EventSystems.EventSystem:Update()

- I tried using the custom key instead of the Api key which is for the ACL app with only the default permissions (Ithink).

 

- So yes I know I don't do user authentication yet because basicly I'm am not sure if this whole ACL would do anything to make my leaderboards more secure.

 

So I'm a bit confused how these two things should fit together.

 

BTW In the near future I would like to add some Facebook&Social integration in my app so that was one reason why I am trying to switch to ACL.

 

Thank you!

Hello Info,

 

The exception which you have shared occurred due to below reason:

• Either your API Key & Secret Key is not correct
• Or the device time is not correct on which app is running
• You have not passed the session id/Admin key along with method call (Required only in ACL enable app)

Make sure all these informations are correct, Also have a look at this tutorial which will help you to understand all the integration steps. 

 

Let us know if it helps.
