Modify a certificate

To modify a certificate, you have to:

1. Open a transaction.

   For details, see Open a transaction.

2. Create a CA

   Have the value of the key element of a valid X.509 CA certificate stored on SPS.

3. Modify the JSON object of the endpoint.

   Use the X.509 certificate's key as the value of the ca element. You can find a detailed description of the available parameters listed in Element . PUT the modified JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/management/certificates endpoint.

4. Commit your changes.

Passwords stored on SPS

To create a new password, you have to POST the password or its hash as a JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/passwords endpoint. For details, see Create a new object. The body of the POST request must contain a JSON object with the parameters listed in Element . The response to a successful POST message is a JSON object that includes the reference ID of the created password in its key attribute. You can reference this ID in other parts of the configuration, for example, to set the password of a user account. Note that you can use a password object for only one purpose, that is, you cannot reference a password object twice.

URL

POST https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/passwords

• Note that the GET method is not permitted on this endpoint, you cannot list the existing passwords. However, if you know the reference ID of a password, you can display its properties:

  GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/passwords/<reference-ID-of-the-password;>

• You cannot directly delete or modify a password, the DELETE and PUT methods are not permitted on password objects. To update a password, create a new one, then update the object that uses the old password to reference the new password.

Sample request

The following command creates a new password object.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/passwords --data '{"plain": "newpassword"}'

If you do not want to include the actual password in the request, the SHA-256 hash of the password is enough:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/passwords --data '{"hash": "$6$rounds=5000$If20/EFyQ4dW3dg/$xrECLfXgZlC2Xr1s257E2aZen42fM7R.sOGG9pkPy1x5ORTx6j03oPWexVlB3f5wnaZOQCBF.NjlDgyg2WEe./"}'

Response

The response to a successful POST message is a JSON object that includes the reference ID of the created password in its key attribute.

   curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/passwords --data '{"plain": "mypassword"}'

   If the operation is successful, the response includes a reference key to the new password object.

3. Reference the key of the password in the user configuration.

   Modify the JSON object of the user to reference the key of the new password object, and PUT the modified JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/aaa/local_database/users/<key-of-the-user> endpoint. For example:

   curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/aaa/local_database/users/14322374245a7de542bbb04 --data '{"name": "admin", "password": "<key-of-the-new-password>"}'
