Issue/Introduction

  Request data:

  {
    "crl_checking_enabled": false,
    "ca_signed_only": false,
    "eku_checking_enabled":false,
    "resource_type":"SecurityGlobalConfig",

  }

  
  Return output:

    "error_code" : 287,
    "module_name" : "common-services",
    "error_message" : "Json de-serialization error: property revision is unrecognized."
  }

Environment

VMware NSX

Cause

This error occurs because "revision" is specified instead of "_revision". "_revision" is correct. In the previously published manual : Set Checks for Certificate Imports, it was written as "revision", and following this will cause this error.

Resolution

• Specify "_revision" instead of "revision".
• Please refer to Update global configurations of a config type if you want to know more about how to use this API.
