I'm attempting to use Salt-Api, so I created a salt-api.conf in /etc/salt/master.d/ as follows:
external_auth:
pam:
saltuser:
- .*
- '@wheel' # to allow access to all wheel modules
- '@runner' # to allow access to all runner modules
- '@jobs' # to allow access to the jobs runner and/or wheel module
rest_cherrypy:
port: 8000
ssl_crt: /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt
ssl_key: /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.key
disable_ssl: True
webhook_disable_auth: True
webhook_url: /hook
the user in /etc/salt/master is set as user: root. So when I try to authenticate using pam locally it works:
sudo salt -a pam '*' test.ping
username: saltuser
password: saltuser
minion:
True
However when I attempt using curl, it fails:
curl -i http://localhost:8000/login -H "Accept: application/json" -d username='saltuser' -d password='saltuser' -d eauth='pam'

Thus, I'm not being able to have either the Java client or the Python client connected. What am I missing in my configuration? The salt-master is already running as root. From my Java code:
import com.suse.salt.netapi.AuthModule;
import com.suse.salt.netapi.calls.WheelResult;
import com.suse.salt.netapi.calls.wheel.Key;
import com.suse.salt.netapi.client.SaltClient;
import com.suse.salt.netapi.exception.SaltException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.util.Optional;
/**
* Example code calling wheel functions.
*/
public class Salt {
private static final String SALT_API_URL = " http://localhost:8000";
private static final String USER = "saltuser";
private static final String PASSWORD = "saltuser";
public static void main(String[] args) throws SaltException {
// Init the client
SaltClient client = new SaltClient(URI.create(SALT_API_URL));
// List accepted and pending minion keys
WheelResult<Key.Names> keyResults = Key.listAll().callSync(
client, USER, PASSWORD, AuthModule.AUTO);
Key.Names keys = keyResults.getData().getResult();
System.out.println("\n--> Accepted minion keys:\n");
keys.getMinions().forEach(System.out::println);
System.out.println("\n--> Pending minion keys:\n");
keys.getUnacceptedMinions().forEach(System.out::println);
// Generate a new key pair and accept the public key
WheelResult<Key.Pair> genResults = Key.genAccept("new.minion.id", Optional.empty())
.callSync(client, USER, PASSWORD, AuthModule.AUTO);
Key.Pair keyPair = genResults.getData().getResult();
System.out.println("\n--> New key pair:");
System.out.println("\nPUB:\n\n" + keyPair.getPub());
System.out.println("\nPRIV:\n\n" + keyPair.getPriv());
}
}

I encountered the same issue despite using the login endpoint as explained in sahama's answer. I solved it by explicitly setting "eauth": "pam". This is how my request looks like now:
curl -si localhost:8000/login \
-c ~/cookies.txt \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-type: application/json" \
-d '{
"username": "saltuser",
"password": "saltuser",
"eauth": "pam"
}'
