Now that we can change the wlan password in Central, we're working on automation to turn the wlan on and off.  We think the endpoint to do it is:

{"wlan":{"disable_ssid": true}}

However, we cannot get this working in swagger - getting 400's and 500's.

Can anyone help?

I did a  

apiPath = "/configuration/full_wlan/GROUPNAME/SSID"

and got the full wlan config into JSON.  With a GUI change to disable the network, and then compared the "before" and "after" and the only change is:

"disable_ssid": false,

changes to:

"disable_ssid": true,

So, parsing the json, it appears the body to send the api should be:

{    "wlan": {       //disable:false = ENABLED	"disable_ssid": false	}}//{    "wlan": {       //disable:true= DISABLED	"disable_ssid": true	}}

Now that we can change the wlan password in Central, we're working on automation to turn the wlan on and off.  We think the endpoint to do it is:

{"wlan":{"disable_ssid": true}}

However, we cannot get this working in swagger - getting 400's and 500's.

However, this api call gives me a 500 error

error:

Looks like this might be a step in the right direction - the change doesn't work, but it returns a "200" OK.

Also tried variations of "disable_ssid"

"false"
false
False

None work.

Now I'm trying the string below, in swagger, and getting a 400 "not a string"

{"value": {"wlan": {"essid": "LTTEST", "type": "employee", "disable_ssid": "false"}}}

Getting swagger response:

{ "detail": "{'wlan': {'essid': 'LTTEST', 'type': 'employee', 'disable_ssid': 'false'}} is not of type 'string'", "status": 400, "title": "Bad Request", "type": "about:blank" }

Also tried variations of "disable_ssid"

"false"
false
False

None work.

If anyone comes across this, we got it to work.  Aruba Central get wlan, will send a key:value dictionary, formatted as a string.  This is what they want back in the "Put" call - except they want it as an "object" - a key:value object - with {"value":wlan_string}, where wlan_string is the original key:value they sent in the "get" call, modified as you need to, of course.

If any Aruba dev's read this, it's really annoying/frustrating - that you want an object, with a key named "value", and the value of "value" is a string, of a dictionary.  Clear as mud.  Thanks.

    #...truncated    # wlan at this point, is the raw string sent from Aruba Central - it's a k:v dictionary, in a string format.    # The api demands wlan be an object, with a key called "value".    wlan = {"value": wlan}    # Build a dictionary with the base url and the token    central = get_central()    apiPath = f"/configuration/full_wlan/{group_name}/{ssid}" # this is the set the wlan configuration        apiMethod = "PUT"    print("Sending wlan")    response = central.command(apiMethod=apiMethod, apiPath=apiPath, apiData=wlan)    if response['code'] == 200:        print("Sent the wlan")        return {'code':200, 'msg':'WLAN successfully sent to Aruba Central'}    else:        {'code':500, 'msg':response}###################def get_central(ssl_verify:bool=False):    """Create an Aruba Central Object which utilizes the Aruba Central SDK to issue    commands to Aruba Central API endpoints.
