How to set access rights to OneView REST API

[BjoernG]

Hi,

My OneView-user account has the role "Infrastructure administrator".

if I try to access HPE OneView REST API via browser or Terraform provider "oneview", the following error occurs:

https://hponeview/rest/server-hardware
-->

BROWSER:
{"errorCode":"AUTHORIZATION_MISSING_AUTH_HEADER","message":"Authorization error: Missing 'auth' header.","details":"Missing 'auth' header from the request.","recommendedActions":["Please provide the missing 'auth' header value and try again."],"errorSource":null,"nestedErrors":[],"data":{}}

TERRAFORM:
│ Error: Error in response: Forbidden
│ Response Status: 403 Forbidden
│ Response Details: You are not allowed to access the requested resource.
│
│ with provider["registry.terraform.io/hewlettpackard/oneview"],
│ on main.tf line 31, in provider "oneview":
│ 31: provider "oneview" {

Could someone provide me with a working CURL command line, so I can verify my user profile access rights ?
What access settings are needed for the REST API in OneView ?

Regards and thanks in advance.

Thanks, but I still have read this document.
Is the REST API accessible only via port 37441 ?

Probably I have an firewall issue here.

Thanks.

No.  The REST API is part of the HTTPS web service.  You cannot access it directly with your web browser unless you are using a browser plugin like Postman.

Have you defined the authentication appropriately in your runbook configuration for the Terraform provider?  You need to follow the instructions here on how to configure what appliance and what your credentials should be.  The credentials can be whatever you use to provide in the login page of the UI.  You cannot just use the OneView Terraform provider directly without first following the instructions I provided.

For further help here using the Terraform provider, I would suggest you use the project's GitHub Issue Tracker.  That is unless you are will-code-for-pizza, and have already asked the question there.

Hi Chris, thanks for the fast reply.

I always thought - as mentioned in 

GitHub /437#issuecomment-977628555 

that I was aware of all needed variables.
Probably we should contine discussing on Github.

Many thanks!

Solved:
I struggled with a proxy-setting problem.
Terraform ignores the 'no_proxy' env variable and the 'access denied' message was sent by proxy.



Many thanks!
