  • 1.  CA SOI: Universal Connector Authentication

    Posted Jan 26, 2018 01:04 AM

    I would like to know how I can configure authentication when using the Universal Connector Web service.
    What happens is that a client wants to send alerts from a cloud platform to CA SOI, this platform is Bluemix.

    By default UC runs on SOI Manager on port 7090 which takes "samuser" or any other Administrator equivalent user authentication for UC operations

    Hi Brahma,

    When I use the following code in python, I can create an IC without needing to authenticate myself:

     

    from suds.client import Client

    soi_url='http://192.168.222.58:7090/axis2/services/GenericConnectorService?wsdl'
    client=Client(soi_url)
    h='MyMachine25'

    ci=client.factory.create('ns2:Item')
    ci['className']='ComputerSystem'
    ci['eventtype']='AddCIEvent'

    ciP=client.factory.create('ns2:CIProperty')
    ciP['name']='MdrElementID'
    ciP['value']=h
    ci.ciProperties.append(ciP)

    ciP=client.factory.create('ns2:CIProperty')
    ciP['name']='ComputerName'
    ciP['value']=h
    ci.ciProperties.append(ciP)

    ciP=client.factory.create('ns2:CIProperty')
    ciP['name']='PrimaryDnsName'
    ciP['value']=h
    ci.ciProperties.append(ciP)

    ciP=client.factory.create('ns2:CIProperty')
    ciP['name']='Label'
    ciP['value']=h
    ci.ciProperties.append(ciP)

    ciP=client.factory.create('ns2:CIProperty')
    ciP['name']='SysName'
    ciP['value']=h
    ci.ciProperties.append(ciP)

    print ci

    result=client.service.addCIs(ci)

    print result

     

    How can I activate authentication to use the universal connector web service?

     

    Regards

    Martin
