  • 1.  Aruba IAP 8.6.0.x Rest API / SSID

    Posted Nov 26, 2020 11:56 AM
    Hey guys,
    I am testing the API functionality with Aruba IAP 325,
    I have one master and 5 slaves.
    I already enabled API with allow-rest-api,
    and I can also login with

    curl "https://IP:4343/rest/login" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"user": "user", "passwd": "password"}' -k
    and get success a response.

    Now, I would use an SSID profile.
    Regarding the documentation Aruba IAP 8.6.0.x there is one ssid example.
    I tried to use this, but nothing happens.
    When I use:

    curl "https://IP:4343/rest/ssid?sid=SID" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data ssid.json -k
    I receive:

    {

    "Status-code": 3,

    "message": "Failed to parse JSON input for /rest/ssid"

    }

    When I use
    curl "https://IP:4343/rest/ssid?sid=SID" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data ssid.json -    insecure

    I receive nothing.
    -k or -insecure , according to macOS CLI curl man both skip the cert check.

    Actually, I would think, this is good, but it isn't.
    When I log in to Aruba IAP, there is no additional SSID network.

    What is wrong?

    Here the ssid.json code, which is a copy from the documentation:

    {
    "ssid-profile" :
    {
    "action" : "create",
    "ssid-profile" : "AA-Cabin123",
    "essid":
    {
    "action" : "create",
    "value" : "AA-Cabin123"
    },
    "type": "employee",
    "opmode" : "wpa2-psk-aes",
    "wpa-passphrase": "abcefgg@123",
    "vlan":
    {
    "action" : "create",
    "value" : "30"
    },
    "rf-band": "5.0",
    "enable": "yes",
    "dtim-period":
    {
    "action" : "create",
    "value" : 1
    },
    "broadcast-filter":
    {

    "value" : "arp"
    },
    "g-min-tx-rate": "1",
    "a-min-tx-rate": "6",
    "a-basic-rates":
    {
    "action" : "create",
    "value" : "6,9"
    },
    "g-basic-rates":
    {
    "action" : "create",
    "value" : "11"
    },
    "dmo-channel-utilization-threshold": 90,
    "local-probe-req-thresh": 0,
    "max-clients-threshold": 64,
    "dot11k": "enable",
    "dot11r": "enable",
    "dot11v": "enable",
    "mdid" :
    {
    "action" : "create",
    "value" : 65535
    },
    "auth-server" :
    {
    "action" : "create",
    "value" : "auth_server"
    },
    "deny-inter-user-bridging" : "enable",
    "deny-local-routing" : "enable",
    "max-authentication-failures" : 0
    }
    }

    Hello,

    I see an error in your cURL usage. If you specify "-d" and your Content-Type is "application/json" then you need to pass a json string and not a file.

    If you would like to pass a json file you need to add "@" before the filename, eg: @myjsonfile.json.

    Let me know if that works out for you.

    Thanks,
    Jay

    Yes, sure. To delete anything on AOS8 via API, you need to use the POST method itself. The way it works is using a key "_action" and its value "delete".
    You need to add "_action": "delete" wherever required. For deleting the entire profile, usually it goes with the "profile-name" key n the JSON payload. For more information checkout the Aruba Developer Hub.

    You can find some examples on different type of actions and their respective JSON payloads here. 

    Thanks,

    Jay

    Works really good, thanks.
    What I regonize is aruba doesn't allow whitespaces in value for SSID name. (this cant be a JSON issue).

    When I use whitespace for instance "enterprise guest" the whole json file is not working.

    Hello,
    I have the same problem than zesa with on a AP635 AP.
    I'm trying to create a new SSID with the command :
    curl "https://@IP:4343/rest/ssid?sid=SSID" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data @ssid.json -insecure

    and I have simply copy/paste his file into a new ssid.json.

    I have no error executing the command from the Windows command, but when I log into the Aruba AP, there is no additional SSID network.

    Thanks for your help.
