Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

When attempting to generate a token for an orchestrator endpoint under Pipelines -> Endpoints -> + New Endpoint -> Orchestrator -> Generate Token you see the error:

Http failure response for https://<vrafqdn>/csp/gateway/am/idp/auth/login?access_token: 404 OK

Environment

VMware Aria Automation 8.12.x

Cause

There are two causes for the issue.

Firstly users are prompted to use email address attribute which is incorrect. The username is required by this API call to get the token.

Secondly the wrong URL is used by the code for the authentication call to the backend. The call is made to

https://<vraAppliance>/csp/gateway/am/idp/auth/login?access_token
 

when it should be made to:

https://<vraAppliance>/csp/gateway/am/api/login?access_token

Resolution

The issue is resolved in the Aria Automation 8.12.2 release

Workaround:

To workaround the issue you can use swagger or postman to manually generate the token as per Generate an Access Token and Bearer Token in VMware Aria Automation for API Authentication
