Query: HPE synergy terminate user session

[daliborazure]

HI

I was looking for a way to terminate user session if it is not active for example for 30 minutes. No instructions found on HPE just wondering if someone did this right now it will terminate session if it is longer than 24 hours which is little bit too long

Hi daliborazure,

Could you please mention which session you are reffering to. If its regarding OneView session or any other.

Thanks and Regards,
Manoj

Hi daliborazure

Thank you for the clarification, you can setup a session timeout for OneView using the REST API commands. I have attached a link with the detailed procedure explaining how to configure a session. Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards,

when i try postman it says

{"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":{}}

there is option for user name and password but it asks for header and as I have said I am not developer so I dont know what it means

Hi daliborazure 

You are getting this error as there is no auth token being generated.
Please run the First command which is provided in this link as it gives you a Auth token in the response. Before clicking on SEND please check that you have selected Body, option raw and JSON format and input the following 
{
"authLoginDomain":"mydirectory",
"password":"mypassword",
"userName":"administrator",
"loginMsgAck": true
}

** Please enter your user name in place of administrator and your password for mypaasword

And under headers section give key value pairs as 
X-Api-Version: 4600
Content-Type: application/json

Doing this you will be able to generate X- Auth Token. Please take this Auth token and input it in the request which you were running earlier.

Please let me know if you encounter any errors

Thanks and Regards,
Manoj.

Hi @daliborazure 

To obtain the authorization token, create a POST request with the following request URL

https://<appliance-IP-address>/rest/login-sessions

Enter the following headers

X-Api-Version
Content-Type

And Enter the JSON Body shown below

{
"authLoginDomain":"<directory-name>",
"password":"<enter-your-password>",
"userName":"<enter-your-username>",
"loginMsgAck": true
}

You can also refer to this video for more infor, it might help.

Where i would put that. I cannot understand this much as I am not programmer. Hopefully next versions will have nice check box where i can just put minutes and not programming skills to do just this simple task

[Greeshma21]

Hi @daliborazure 

Next, you have to enter the headers as follows:

X-api-version can be found by running the GET command and URL: https://ip_address/rest/version

After headers, Select the Body, the raw option, and JSON as shown in the below image.


Then enter the below commands,

{ 
"authLoginDomain":"<directory-name>", 
"password":"<enter-your-password>", 
"userName":"<enter-your-username>", 
"loginMsgAck": true 
}
