Completing the Welcome Wizard using REST

The Welcome Wizard helps you complete the initial configuration of SPS. Starting with version 5 F4, you can complete the Welcome Wizard using REST as well.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/setup
Prerequisites

You can complete the Welcome Wizard only if it has not been already completed. To verify this, access the /api/setup endpoint. If the value of the status field is uninitialized, you can complete the Welcome Wizard.

Sample request

The following command completes the Welcome Wizard. The data content of the request is read from the file body.json. For the details of the body of the request, see Request body.

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @body.json -X POST https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/setup/

NOTE: The request automatically fails if there are any other clients connected to the REST or the web interface of SPS.

Response

If completing the Welcome Wizard is successful, you should receive the 303 status code. The body of the response is empty.

If you GET the /api/setup endpoint, the status field of the response should be completed, for example:

{
    "meta": {
        "eula": "https://www.oneidentity.com/legal/sta.aspx",
        "href": "/api/setup",
        "parent": "/api",
