Issue/Introduction

What is the correct process to create a new user in REST in a Distributed SpectroSERVER Environment?

Environment

Release : 10.3.x, 10.4.x

Component : Spectrum Core / SpectroSERVER   /  Spectrum OneClick / REST API

Cause

We want the ability to script user creation in Spectrum via REST API in a DSS environment.

Resolution

By using the below query two times we can create the user on both landscapes in a DSS.

 

http://<oneclick server>:<port>/spectrum/restful//model?landscapeid=0x1000000&mtypeid=0x10004&attr=0x1006e&val=user_name&attr=0x11f9a&val=spectrum

http://<oneclick server>:<port>/spectrum/restful//model?landscapeid=0x2000000&mtypeid=0x10004&attr=0x1006e&val=user_name&attr=0x11f9a&val=spectrum

 

If we don't use this "landscapeid"  attribute in query, then by default the user is created on MLS and not on any other landscapes.

In a DSS, any user created in REST must be created on all landscapes that they wish to be part of by the landscape id.
