Has anyone used apis to login to the command center?  

I think my code below works for login, but doesn’t work for logout.

I’ve redacted specific details.

Eventually I want it to login, create a credential in the vault and logout but I’m also having issues removing httponly from the session.

curl -k -L -v -X POST "https://myserver/commandcenter/api/Login" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -H "Accept: application/json" --data-urlencode "username=xxx" --data-urlencode "password=xxx" -c "E:\automation\cookie.txt"

echo logout

curl -k -L -v "https://myserver/commandcenter/api/Logout" -b "E:\automation\cookie.txt" -c "E:\automation\cookie2.txt" -H "Content-Length: 15" -H "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8"

Can anyone advise?

 

Thanks.

This is the output of the logout command:

I figured it, the password needs to be base64 encoded.

You can use Access Tokens and not worry about the Login API query.

Thanks,
