Didn't get how that trick with vaRest can solve this: https://community.playfab.com/questions/37781/getmatch-server-authentication-error.html
There is a known issue in the PlayFab Unreal SDK that would block you using the DeveloperSecretKey as the request header to call the API GetEntityToken. Using an external REST Plugin is one of the options to bypass this issue. Currently, you can fix this issue by modifying the SDK manually. Before you modify the source code of the PlayFab SDK, you may need to duplicate the plugin file to your project first, like the file structure of our ExampleProject. Then you can find this file in the plugin file -- PlayFabAuthenticationAPI.cpp, comment out the “else” from lines 273 to 277. Then rebuild the solution.
// Headers
if (useEntityToken)
HttpRequest->SetHeader(TEXT("X-EntityToken"), CallAuthenticationContext != nullptr ? CallAuthenticationContext->GetEntityToken() : pfSettings->getEntityToken());
/*else*/ if (useSessionTicket)
HttpRequest->SetHeader(TEXT("X-Authorization"), CallAuthenticationContext != nullptr ? CallAuthenticationContext->GetClientSessionTicket() : pfSettings->getSessionTicket());
/*else*/ if (useSecretKey)
HttpRequest->SetHeader(TEXT("X-SecretKey"), CallAuthenticationContext != nullptr ? CallAuthenticationContext->GetDeveloperSecretKey() : pfSettings->getDeveloperSecretKey());
After you modify the SDK, the following blueprints should work fine.
If you are using C++ to develop the project, you can ignore the workaround that using external REST Plugin. Have you called the GetEntityToken to get the title entity before you call the GetMatch API for the server? If you want to get the title entity, you needn't log a player in, and you need to set the secret key before you call the GetEntityToken.
No, I use C++ only for SDK integration but for stuff like this I use blueprint functions from playfab's plugin for UE4.
Thanks for clarification, we will confirm the updates of the issue.
