Here, I've have selected the port 8080 from the default 8082 and enabled the API
You do NOT need to reboot the MgtServer
You will need a API client-user define ( the standard admin_users are not API users ). After you have crafted a API client a authenticationkey will be display ( it's critical that you record that key , you will not see it again ).
To login, the API needs the key and provided via a http.request.method POST in a simple call
curl -k -v -d '{"authenticationkey":"n7d3hj3k39l@se3ydieke"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://mysmcserver.socpuppets.com:8080/login
If the key was correct, you should receive a status. response 200 and the SMC console will show the user logged on as a status "online"
The logout is similar but uses the http.request.method PUT
curl -k -v -d '{"authenticationkey":"n7d3hj3k39l@se3ydieke"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT https://mysmcserver.socpuppets.com:8080/login
To discovery entry points you can use the API discovery at or whatever services port you have enabled
https://x.x.x.x:8080/api
example
{output truncated }
You can request various entry points by issuance of a http.request.method GET
examples to follow below.
When constructing POST I prefer json structure of a KEY and Attribute Value
e.g
{ "name":"the_name_here", "address":"1.1.1.1"}
NOTE: ensure you set the application type as json if your using json, xml is also supported.
Keep in mind the API client access is controlled by the role you define for the account
When initial login, you need to be aware that the JSESSSIONID cookie value is used for admin.session tracking with HTTP. With HTTPS you can use the cookie or SSLsession for tracking
Here's a few basic API examples
and yes the API supports IPv6
