AE REST - Unable to reset public key

[Marc Monlouis]

Hi 

I try to reset a agent public key using AE REST API without success.

When i do following request it work great, i get information 

curl -f --request GET -u "UC/UC:UC" https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ae/api/v1/0/system/agents/LINUX-1
{
  "active" : true,
  "name" : "LINUX-1",
  "jcl_variant" : "UNIX",
  "platform" : "UNIX",
  "authenticated" : true,
  "version" : "24.2.0+hf.1.build.1728932644725",
  "hardware" : "x86_64/16",
  "ip_address" : "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy",
  "port" : 2301,
  "software" : "Linux",
  "workload_max_job" : -1,
  "workload_max_ft" : -1,
  "tls" : true,
  "linked" : false
}

But when i execute request bellow i get error 400

curl -f --request POST -u "UC/UC:UC" https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:9443/ae/api/v1/0/system/agents/LINUX-1/resetpublickey
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 400 Bad Request

However, the request seems to be correct. 
According swagger there is no body needed 
Any idea is welcome !

Thanks in advance for help

Hi Marc,

I copied your request and it runs fine in my instance. It returns 400 only if I put any special characters into the request. Try escaping the dash (-) with %2D.

Hi Markus and thanks a lot for your answer.

I did the try with dash encoded without more success.
i.e: curl -f --request  POST -u "UC/UC:UC" "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:9443/ae/api/v1/0/system/agents/LINUX%2d1/resetpublickey"
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 400 Bad Request

So it seem something is wrong with our installation or setup. But i can't see how it can be possible.

Binary installation just is a "tar xvzf" of AutomicEngine package without any modification.

For configuration, please find REST section of ucsrv.ini  below :

Whops sorry, while re-reading your initial post I just realized you already tried the GET I wanted to suggest.

[Eric Lontz]

Marc,

If we take the url being correct as a given, that leaves us with the object. With the GET I see that the Agent is not linked. I would link the Agent in the AWI. Log on to client 0 > Administration > Open Agent Linux-1 then define the Phrase, Name, and Port.

I hope this helps
