Issue/Introduction

How can I check if connectivity and username/password is ok from VNA to Viptela?

Environment

Release : 21.2

Component : Virtual Network Assurance For CA Performance Management

Resolution

You can use a call like the below:

curl -X POST -v -k -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d 'j_username=$username&j_password=$password' https://$viptelaserver:443/dataservice/j_security_check -c /tmp/cookie.txt

 

You would need to change these three entries (and possibly port if needed) and would be looking for a 200 success:

 

1. $username
2. $password
3. $viptelaserver
