How to obtain a JSESSION ID for PowerFlex Installer REST API URIs

A JSESSION ID must be used to in order to run PowerFlex Installer REST API URIs. URIs run without a JSESSION ID will fail. Once you have a JSESSION ID, you can use the PowerFlex Installer REST API URIs.

About this task

The following steps can be used to obtain a JSESSION ID.

Steps

  1. Run the following URI: 
    https://localhost/j_spring_security_check
Content: "j_username=admin&j_password=Password1&submit=Login"
POST

    where the user name in the above example is "admin" and the password is "Password1".

  2. Find the JSESSION ID in the URI output. For example: 
    JSESSIONID=969F624A761937AE80E6CC9E91756B10
  3. Set the following headers, using the JSESSION ID obtained in the previous steps. For example: 
    "Content-Type":"application/json"
"Cookie":"JSESSIONID=969F624A761937AE80E6CC9E91756B10"

Results

The JSESSION ID will be added to the URIs. You may now run any PowerFlex Installer REST API URI.
