Powerflex manager rest API Authenticate sample
Hello,
do we have any sample for powerflex manager rest api call ? i am struggling at the first step of authentication
/Api/V1/Authenticate
I checked in powerflex manager API guide and developer portal - https://developer.dell.com/apis/5468/versions/3.8/docs/Getting%20Started/Authentication.md,
no clear information on it. Can anyone please help to get the sample or right syntax ?

Hi @saranraj456
The Content-Type header for the request need to be set as application/json. Please find below screenshot of the api execution
Thanks,
Jennifer

Thanks Jennifer , Authentication worked. Is there a way to run the GET call directly without using any programming language ( as like below) . Deriving the customized header seems to be a complex step. I would like to get the managed device IP information using this URI- /Api/V1/ManagedDevice/
apiKey = '34b3577f7c3c03174a9a506b' apiSecret = '9a6d9692ba64142e6a1934f9be994f3b0ae63959a6132c8b' timestamp = Time.now.to_i.to_s # Concatenate the following values requestString = "%s:%s:%s:%s:%s" % [apiKey,httpMethod,uriPath,userAgent,timestamp] # Compute a digest on concatenated string using apiSecret hash_str = OpenSSL::HMAC.digest('sha256',apiSecret,requestString) signature = Base64.strict_encode64(hash_str) headers['x-dell-auth-key'] = apiKey headers['x-dell-auth-signature'] = signature headers['x-dell-auth-timestamp'] = timestampjennifer_john

Hi @saranraj456 ,
As per documentation, the signature header need to be set which is a hashcode generated with OpenSSL, which would require a script.
Thanks,
Jennifer
