Change an object

To modify or update an object, use a PUT request on the object you want to change. In the body of the request, you have to upload the entire object, not only the parameter that you want to change.

To delete an element of a list (for example, a user from a local user database), use a PUT request. The body the request should include the entire object, but remove the element you want to delete from the related list of the object.

Note the following points when you create a request:

  • Note that you cannot simply use the JSON from the response of a similar object. If the object contains references to other resources (for example, a Channel policy references a Time policy), then the JSON object contains an embedded meta object. To get a valid JSON that you can use, you have to replace this embedded object with the ID (key) of the referenced object. For example, the following is a reference to a Time policy:

    "time_policy": {
            "key": "-100",
            "meta": {
                "href": "/api/configuration/policies/time_policies/-100"
            }
        }

    In a POST or PUT request, you have to change it to the following:

    "time_policy": "-100",

    Starting with version 6.1.0, when querying a list of objects, the API response includes the body of the referenced objects as well, not only its reference key, but only if they are immediate child nodes.

  • You have to include empty fields in the object as well, for example:

    "users": [
            { "certificates": [], "passwords": [ "<reference-to-password>" ], "public_keys": [], "username": "myusername" }
            ]
  • The API ignores any unrecognized or nonexistent keys that appear in the body of POST and PUT requests. For example, if you mistype the name of an optional key, it will be silently ignored.

  • The body wrapper that is displayed in the response is not needed when you create or modify an object, for example:

    {
        "name": "my-local-user-database",
        "users": [
            { "certificates": [], "passwords": [ "<reference-to-password>" ], "public_keys": [], "username": "myusername" }
            ]
    }

Table 2: Headers
Header name Description Required Values
Content-Type Specifies the type of the data sent. SPS uses the JSON format Required application/json
session_id Contains the authentication token of the user Required The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For details on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.
Sample request

The following command updates an RDP Channel policy. The data content of the request is read from the file body.json.

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @body.json --cookie session_id=07640a0bf14cdd361d8f5ae2b0b482a786c7a604 -X PUT https://10.40.255.17/api/configuration/rdp/channel_policies/<id-of-the-object-to-modify>

For a simple RDP Channel policy that uses the default settings and allows only the Drawing channel, the JSON object is the following.

{
  "name": "drawing-only",
  "rules": [
    {
      "actions": {
        "audit": true,
        "content_policy": null,
        "four_eyes": false,
        "ids": false
      },
      "allowed_for": {
        "clients": [],
        "gateway_groups": [],
        "remote_groups": [],
        "servers": [],
        "time_policy": "-100"
      },
      "channel": "#drawing"
    }
  ]
}

The following is a sample response received.

If you receive the "417 - Expectation Failed" error code when using curl, use curl with the --http1.0 or the -H "Expect:" option.

Generating SPS support bundle using REST

Generate a support bundle using the SPS REST API.

Previously, generating a support bundle for SPS was possible only from the SPS web interface, at Basic Settings > Troubleshooting > Create support bundle. Using the /support-bundle endpoint, administrators can start support bundle generation jobs and download a snapshot of the current state of the specified SPS appliance. To troubleshoot multiple SPS appliances, you must generate the support bundle for each appliance.

NOTE: A support bundle is automatically deleted after 24 hours. If the issue with your SPS appliance persists, you must download a new support bundle.

Cookies
Cookie name Description Required Values
session_id Contains the authentication token of the user Required

The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For more information on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

NOTE: This session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format).
