  • 1.  How to use REST management API to create groups in IdentityProvider?

    Posted Feb 19, 2019 03:44 PM

    In the https://gateway.mycompany.com:9443/restman/1.0/doc/home.html , it only shows how you can create User by 

    POST 1.0/identityProviders/{identityProviderID}/users, but it does not have the instructions for using POST to create a Group.

    Is this possible?

    Note that I did try using an ansible call and using an xml:

       <l7:Group providerId="{{ tmpxmlhash.parentid.0 }}" xmlns:l7="http://ns.l7tech.com/2010/04/gateway-management">
    <l7:Name>GroupName</l7:Name>
    </l7:Group>

    It does not work."HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed"

     

    Thanks

    I just double check the restman document on https://<gateway>:<port>/restman/1.0/doc/restDoc.html#1.0/groups 

    There is no restman API to create group.

    So, you cannot create group via restman

    Thanks Zhigun.

    i want to create groups in identityProviders. It appears it cannot be done since it does not show in the resources documentation.

     

    Are there any other way to create using scripts?

    Hi 

     

    You want to create groups on the internal  identityProviders ?
