Hi All,

 

 I have created a user using API and it was working fine ,now I want to add the user in group directly while creating. How to do this .

 

Creating user :  http://localhost:80/spectrum/restful/model?landscapeid=0x2400000&mtypeid=0x10004&attr=0x1006e&val=test_user

 

Adding user in group:

 

Command :

 

 http://localhost:80/spectrum/restful/associations/relation/0x10031/leftmodel/0x100016/rightmodel/0x285f0c8

 

Model handle which  I have is used is Home model handle got from user -> advanced and user group -> advanced

Error :

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<create-association-response

Any suggestions

This will work to create a user and add to group at the same time.

http://<HostName or IPAddress>:<port>/spectrum/restful/model?mtypeid=0x10004&parentmh=<UserGroup_ModelHandle>&relationid=0x10022&attr=0x1006e&val=<UserName>

<HostName or IPAddress> --> Use either Host Name or IP Address of the OneClick Server.
<port> --> Use the port Number here (Ex: 8080)
<UserGroup_ModelHandle> --> Find out the User Group Model_Handle value and replace it
<UserName> --> Replace it with the User ID/Name

Here,
mtypeid=0x10004 represents the modeltype_handle value for User model
relationid=0x10022 represents the relation name "Has_Member"
attr=0x1006e represents the Model_Name attribute

Hope this helps.

Use the below POST method.

http://<HostName or IPAddress>:<PortNumber>/spectrum/restful/model?mtypeid=0x10004&parentmh=<Model_Handle of UserGroup>&relationid=0x10022&attr=0x1006e&val=<UserName>

Replace:
<HostName or IPAddress> with OneClick server host name or IP Address.
<Model_Handle of UserGroup> with model handle value of the User Group you want to add the user
<UserName> with the User Name/ID you want to create

Thank you.

From the look of you original port:

http://localhost:80/spectrum/restful/associations/relation/0x10031/leftmodel/0x100016/rightmodel/0x285f0c8

The user model and user group model are in two different landscapes.

From the docs:

POST associations

POST associations creates an association. A specific relation is created between two models. Only models on the same SpectroSERVER can be associated.

Hi Rajasekar ,

 Thanks it is working but it is getting created at MLS landscape . I want to specify the landscape .Tried this but not working 

http://localhost:80/spectrum/restful/model?landscapeid=0x2400000mtypeid=0x10004&parentmh=0x284bae9&relationid=0x10022&attr=0x1006e&val=test1

[Rajashekar Allala]

@Issac08 

How many landscapes do you have?
How are you taking the parentmh value?​

------------------------------
Thank you.

It is working for me even if I mentioned landscape ID
http://localhost:8080/spectrum/restful/model?landscapeid=0x400000&mtypeid=0x10004&parentmh=0x403f54&relationid=0x10022&attr=0x1006e&val=Rajashekar

I see, you are missing & between landscapeid=0x2400000 and mtypeid=0x10004 

Try the below...
http://localhost:80/spectrum/restful/model?landscapeid=0x2400000&mtypeid=0x10004&parentmh=0x284bae9&relationid=0x10022&attr=0x1006e&val=test1

Make sure to use the correct landscape ID and the parent model handle.

Hope, you are getting the parent (UserGroup) model handle properly.

Example:
1. Under locator, click "Create New Search Button"
2. Use the below attribute and attribute value to list the existing user groups --> Click on Launch (You can save the search criteria or just cancel)


3. Select the user group you want to add the user --> Look for model_handle value under attributes of the model component detail pane.

Thanks it have worked ,made a mall mistake missed "&" after landscape id .

What is the auto generated password for those user ids ? 
I want to pass some inputs in general information  for full name , department ,notes ,contact section ,how can i add the attribute and pass it in same call?
Kindly suggest

[Rajashekar Allala]

No Password is created for the model you create using the above method. You can set the password using the attribute id 0x11f9a using PUT method. However, it will only take the encoded format of the value (octet string). Not sure, how to generate it and pass it to that attribute in the PUT method.

It is not possible to use the same method you use to create a model as updating the attributes use PUT method. Below is how you can update the attributes.

http://<hostname><:portnumber>/spectrum/restful/model/<model_handle>?attr=<attr_ID>&val=<num>

https://docops.ca.com/ca-spectrum/10-2-3/en/programming/web-services-api-reference/how-to-use-the-ca-spectrum-web-services-api/restful-resources-nouns/model#model-PUTmodel

You can update multiple attributes at a time using the below format of PUT method.
http://<hostname><:portnumber>/spectrum/restful/model/<model_handle>?attr=<attr_ID>&val=<num>&attr=<attr_ID>&val=<num>&............

Also, note that, if the Spectrum is integrated with LDAP/ SSO (CA EEM), no need to create password for users locally.

Thank you.

Hi Rajashekar,

We have only local users ,spectrum is not integrated wth EEM or LDAP

[Rajashekar Allala]

As I said in my last reply, the attribute supports only the octet string. So, not sure how we can pass the password information.
Try to check with Spectrum support team to see if they can help on your query.
