Check the integrity of a plugin

The authentication and authorization (AA) plugins used on SPS. To upload or update a plugin, see Upload a plugin.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/plugin/integrity?key=<key-value-from-the-response-of-the-last-creation>&plugin_type=<type-of-the-plugin>&ops=zip_checksum&ops=zip_content&ops=unregistered
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).

Sample request

The following command retrieves the results of the integrity check.

curl --cookie cookies.txt https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/plugin/integrity?key=<key-value-from-the-response-of-the-last-creation>&plugin_type=aa&ops=zip_checksum&ops=zip_content&ops=unregistered
  • To retrieve the <key-value-from-the-response-of-the-last-creation> of the plugin that you have uploaded earlier, enter the following command:

    curl https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/plugins/<plugin_type>

    This will display all plugins that you have uploaded earlier, that belong to the specified plugin type. The value will be the value of the key parameter of the response.

  • The following plugin_type values are available:

    • Authentication and authorization: aa

    • Configuration synchronization: configuration_sync

    • Credential Store: credentialstore

    • Signing CA: signingca
