Status and error codes

The following table lists the typical status and error codes for this request. For a complete list of error codes, see Application level error codes.

Code	Description	Notes
401	Unauthenticated	The requested resource cannot be retrieved because the client is not authenticated and the resource requires authorization to access it. The details section contains the path that was attempted to be accessed, but could not be retrieved.
401	AuthenticationFailure	Authenticating the user with the given credentials has failed.
404	NotFound	The requested object does not exist.

VNC connection policies

VNC connections > VNC connection policies

Connection policies determine if a server can be accessed from a particular client. Connection policies reference other resources (policies, usergroups, keys) that must be configured and available before creating a connection policy.

Caution:

The connection policies of this protocol are available in READ-ONLY mode on the REST API. Also, the returned data is incomplete, it does not include any protocol-specific settings, only the parameters that are common to every supported protocol.

To modify the connection policies of this protocol, you must use the SPS web interface.

Using the REST API, you can modify the connection policies of the RDP and SSH protocols.

Element			Type	Description
key			Top level item	Contains the ID of the endpoint.
body			Top level item	Contains the elements of the global VNC options.
	audit		Top level item	Contains settings for timestamping and cleanup.
	service		Top level item	Global setting to enable VNC connections, and specify the logging detail.
		enabled	boolean	Set to true to enable VNC connections.
		log_level	int	Defines the logging detail of VNC connections.

Elements of audit			Type	Description
cleanup			Top level item	Global retention settings for VNC connection metadata. To configure retention time for a specific connection policy, use the archive_cleanup_policy element at the endpoint of the policy instead.
	channel_database_cleanup_days		int	Global retention time for the metadata of VNC connections, in days. Must exceed the retention time of the archiving policy (or policies) used for VNC connections, and the connection-specific database cleanup times (if configured).
	enabled		boolean	To enable the global cleanup of VNC connection metadata, set this element to true.
timestamping			Top level item	Global timestamping settings for VNC connections.
	selection		string	Configures local or remote timestamping. Set local to use SPS for timestamping. Set remote to configure a remote timestamping server.
	server_url		string	Required for remote timestamping. The URL of the timestamping server. Note that HTTPS and password-protected connections are not supported.
	oid		Top level item	The Object Identifier of the policy used for timestamping.
		enabled	boolean	Required for remote timestamping. Set to true to configure the Object Identifier of the timestamping policy on the timestamping remote server.
		policy_oid	string	Required if the oid is enabled. The Object Identifier of the timestamping policy on the remote timestamping server.
	signing_interval		int	Time interval for timestamping open connections, in seconds.

Examples:

Set SPS as the timestamping server:

{
  "audit": {
    "cleanup": {
      "enabled": false
    },
    "timestamping": {
      "selection": "local",
      "signing_interval": 30
    }
  },
  "service": {
    "enabled": true,
    "log_level": 4
  }
}

Enable cleanup, and set it to occur every 10 days:

{
  "audit": {
    "cleanup": {
      "channel_database_cleanup_days": 10,
      "enabled": true
    },
    "timestamping": {
      "selection": "local",
      "signing_interval": 30
    }
  },
  "service": {
    "enabled": true,
    "log_level": 4
  }
}

Change timestamping to a remote server, without specifying a timestamping policy:

{
  "audit": {
    "cleanup": {
      "channel_database_cleanup_days": 10,
      "enabled": true
    },
    "timestamping": {
        "oid": {
          "enabled": false
        },
        "selection": "remote",
        "server_url": "<url-of-timestamping-server>",
        "signing_interval": 30
      }
  },
  "service": {
    "enabled": true,
    "log_level": 4
  }
}

Change timestamping to a remote server, and specify the 1.2.3 timestamping policy:

{
  "audit": {
    "cleanup": {
      "channel_database_cleanup_days": 10,
      "enabled": true
    },
    "timestamping": {
        "oid": {
          "enabled": true,
          "policy_oid": "1.2.3"
        },
        "selection": "remote",
        "server_url": "<url-of-timestamping-server>",
        "signing_interval": 30
      }
  },
  "service": {
    "enabled": true,
    "log_level": 4
  }
}
