Can't obtain Authentication Token
Hi,
I've installed a DDVE (dd_version_release=7.2.0.5-653470) in a Lab.
Now I want to send REST API calls to the machine, but cant obtain Authentication Token
What I do first is (based on the docs) to request a Token by executing:
curl -k -X 'POST' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '{ "auth_info": {"username":"sysadmin", "password":"***" } }' 'https://:3009/rest/v1.0/auth' The respond is:
{"service_status": {"code": 0, "link": [{"href": "/rest/v1.0/system", "rel": "related"}], "details": "success"}}
What I miss here is the Authentication Token, which I need to be able to perform further Rest-Api-Calls.
Can someone help me please?
Regards
Luiz Fernando Goncalves

This absolutely does NOT work. not even close. The API guide is wrong, all references to this are wrong. None of the curl executions work, none of the python executions work. So far no way to get x-auth-token. Completely broken process or no one really uses the API.

Finally got something to actually work
curl -i -s -k -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @omviewcred.json https://yourservername/api/SessionService/Sessions
curl -i -s -k -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @omviewcred.json https://yourservername/api/SessionService/Sessions -v |grep -P "X-Auth-Token" | awk '{print$2}'
cat omveiewcred.json
{
"UserName": "omview_svc",
"Password": "mysecrutz2",
"SessionType": "API"
}
