KACE Product Support

Thanks for your help!

We used Python in the past with WSAPI, so we would like to keep Python :-)
I saw your other examples and tried it with these but still get error messages.

I created a new user in KACE for the API-usage with admin rights in /systemui/settings_users_list.php (Settings-> Administrators).

Error messages:
{
"errorCode": -1,
"errorDescription": "Invalid CSRF Token"
}


{
"errorCode": -1,
"errorDescription": "Invalid user or password"
}

The code is:
import requests
import json

from requests.sessions import Session
session = Session();

# Start of POST to authenticate to SMA server.
# The x-dell-csrf-token is saved to be used in subsequent API calls.
# Change the URL IP and credentials for your environment.

url = "https://.../ams/shared/api/security/login"


payload = json.dumps({ "userName": "...",
"password": "...",
"organizationName": "..."
})


headers = { 'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'x-dell-api-version': '5'
}

#To avoid SSL-error messages:
session.verify = False

response = session.post(url, headers=headers, data=payload)
# The following line will display the JSON returned from the response.
print(json.dumps(response.json(), indent = 3))
csrf_token = response.headers.get('x-dell-csrf-token')

# You should see the x-dell-csrf-token in the print output
print(csrf_token)


# The following API call will retrieve the list of devices on the SMA

url = "https://.../api/inventory/machines"

headers = { 'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'x-dell-api-version': '5',
'x-dell-csrf-token': csrf_token
}

response = session.get(url, headers=headers)
print(json.dumps(response.json(), indent = 3))
