HP SDN Controller REST API Authorization failure

atul12345 — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 05:50:49 GMT

Hi,

I have successfully installed and able to acces HP VAN SDN Controller version 2.0.0.4253.

I tried connecting via REST API but gets "Connection refused" error. I tried using bith RESTPI Client addon as well as Curl.

I checked the port 8080 via netstat and its active.

Am I missing anything?

Regards

Atul

Hi,

Are you able to run this attached script?

ps: please, change the CONTROLLER_IP variable if necessary.

Yes the script runs , but output is general data. No token related information is recieved.

However I tried using the link "https://10.204.254.93:8443/api" and it worked.

Do you have sample Java code for initial authorization?

I'm not sure what is your doubt. Do you need the authorization token to access the REST api from an external application?

Take a look in this new shell script, and tell me if solved your problem.

Hi,

I am planning to write sample Java app using RESTAPI to get the shortest path between 2 nodes. I understand from the documentation that authorization is required before accessing the controller related details.
