Leaf connects to Sentera using username/password authentication rather than OAuth. Once connected, Leaf syncs field boundary data for the Leaf user. Sentera is primarily used for field boundary management.

Prerequisites

  1. A Sentera account with the target organization.
  2. The grower’s username and password for their Sentera account.
  3. The organizationName within Sentera that the grower belongs to.

Setup steps

POST the credentials to Leaf:
curl -X POST \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
      "username": "grower-username",
      "password": "grower-password",
      "organizationName": "grower-org-name"
    }' \
    'https://api.withleaf.io/services/usermanagement/api/users/{leafUserId}/sentera-credentials'

Credentials schema

Create request body:
FieldTypeRequiredDescription
usernamestringYesThe grower’s Sentera username
passwordstringYesThe grower’s Sentera password
organizationNamestringYesThe Sentera organization name
Response:
{
  "id": "uuid",
  "status": "str",
  "createdTime": "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS'Z'",
  "username": "str",
  "authToken": "str",
  "organizationId": "str",
  "organizationName": "str"
}
Leaf generates an authToken and resolves the organizationId from the provided organizationName after successful authentication.

Confirm the credentials are attached

Check the stored credentials for the Leaf user:
curl "https://api.withleaf.io/services/usermanagement/api/users/{leafUserId}/sentera-credentials" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
If this worked, Leaf returns the Sentera credential object with the resolved organizationId.

Endpoints

Base URL: https://api.withleaf.io/services/usermanagement/api
ActionMethodPath
Get credentialsGET/users/{leafUserId}/sentera-credentials
Create credentialsPOST/users/{leafUserId}/sentera-credentials
Delete credentialsDELETE/users/{leafUserId}/sentera-credentials
Get credential eventsGET/users/{leafUserId}/sentera-credentials/events

Troubleshooting

Use the events endpoint to inspect credential health:
curl -X GET \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN' \
    'https://api.withleaf.io/services/usermanagement/api/users/{leafUserId}/sentera-credentials/events'
Event logs are retained for 30 days. Once the credential is deleted or disassociated from the Leaf user, the logs are no longer available.
Common issues:
  • Invalid credentials: If the grower changed their Sentera password, the credentials stored in Leaf become invalid. Delete and recreate with the new password.
  • Organization not found: Verify the organizationName matches exactly what’s configured in Sentera, including case sensitivity.
