To list only specific host keys, you can use the following filters.
List every host key and certificate:
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys
List host keys of a specific type:
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys?type=<type-to-list>
Possible values: ssh-rsa, ssh-dss, x509v3-sign-rsa, x509v3-sign-dss. For example:
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys?type=ssh-rsa
List host keys for a specific port number:
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys?port=<port-number-to-list>
List host keys for a specific host address (IPv4 or IPv6):
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys?address=<host-address>
For a complex filter, separate the parameters with an ampersand (&) character, for example:
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys?port=<port-number-to-list>&type=<type-to-list>
The response to such requests is a JSON object, where the items list includes the IDs of the selected host keys (or an empty list). For example, filtering for ssh-dss keys could return a similar list:
{ "meta": { "href": "/api/ssh-host-keys", "parent": "/api" }, "items": [ { "key": "ssh-dss-10.110.0.1:22", "meta": {"href": "/api/ssh-host-keys/ssh-dss-10.110.0.1:22"} }, { "key": "ssh-dss-10.110.0.2:2222", "meta": {"href": "/api/ssh-host-keys/ssh-dss-10.110.0.2:2222"} } ] }
To upload a new host key or certificate, you have to POST the host key and other data as a JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys 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 . If the POST request is successful, the response includes an ID for the host key in the following format: <type-of-the-key>-<host-address>:<host-port>. For example:
{ "address": "10.110.0.1", "port": 22, "type": { "selection": "ssh-rsa", "value": "AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAAD...zvMwgc==" } }
Note that for IPv6 addresses, SPS will automatically convert the address to its canonical format.
To delete a host key or certificate, you have to DELETE https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/ssh-host-keys/<ID-of-the-host-key> endpoint. For details, see Delete an object. If the DELETE request is successful, the response includes only the meta object, for example:
{ "meta": { "href": "/api/ssh-host-keys/ssh-rsa-10.10.20.35:22", "parent": "/api/ssh-host-keys" } }
You must commit your changes to actually delete the object from SPS.
