VMware Plugin - AUTH_DIG Example

Hello, could you please give an example of what should be the AUTH_DIG variable under VMware config plugin?

I have tested several conbination, but I still have the following error message:

[vmware] Can't auth with the sevrer https://xxxxxx.domain.com

I have tested:

1) domain\login+password => all encoded in base 64

2) domain\login+password => only password in base 64

3) 1 and 2 but without domain

4) 1, 2 and 3 without +

Help me please !!!! crying

Thanks.

Hi, I might be a bit late,

but in order to figure out my auth digest, I used curl:

curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'vmware-api-session-id: null' 'https://{vcenter-address}/rest/com/vmware/cis/session' --basic -k --user '{user}:{password}' --verbose

you should write your user name in the form of user@domain rather than domain\user.

in the long output, you should find the HTTP request:

> POST /rest/com/vmware/cis/session HTTP/1.1
> Host: {vcenter-address}
> Authorization: Basic QWRtaW5pc3RyYXjhtrewre2c3BoZXJlLmxvYj65OjM1QmFsTWRBPzY5MA==
> User-Agent: curl/7.52.1
> Content-Type: application/json
> Accept: application/json
> vmware-api-session-id: null

You have your digest (I modified mine) on the third line after Authorization: Basic

You have to keep the equal signs in the end.

Last but not least, in your URL before the Auth Digest, don't forget the https:// and the trailing / (like I did....)

Best Regards,

Etienne

I tried doing the following but still can't authenticate:

       URL  => "https://spvvapvc65101.corp.priv/",

       AUTH_DIG     => "s-mon\@DOMAIN:cy1tb25ARElBR0xBQlM6bDdqbmJ1QVc=",

Incase someone was stuck like I was:

Incorrect:

AUTH_DIG     => "s-mon\@DOMAIN:cy1tb25ARElBR0xBQlM6bDdqbmJ1QVc=",

Correct:

You get the value by doing the following:

echo -n "username@DOMAIN:password" | base64

AUTH_DIG     => "cy1tb25ARElBlM6bDdqbmJ1QVc=",
