APIs

To see all APIs available, refer to APIs section for each What is a module?.

All actions performed by IDEA web interface can also be triggered via HTTP APIs. APIs cover all modules such as creating IDEA users, submit a job or control virtual desktops.

IDEA provides a Swagger documentation available on the IDEA web interface under "Module Name" > "Settings" (example below for "eVDI" > "Settings")

API Spec and Swagger link available for each module

User Authorization

TO be rewritten

API Authorization is available in 4 categories:

• Public - As long as client has network access to the endpoint.

• Authenticated User - The calling user must send a valid JWT token issued by the cluster’s Cognito User Pool

• Manager - The user must be part of the managers Cognito User Group.

• Administrator - The user must be part of the administrators Cognito User Group, in addition to the Sudoers LDAP Group.

API Samples

Auth.InitiateAuth (Using Username/Password)

InitiateAuth is a public API, that is used to authenticate the cluster user. The API may return the authentication result or challenges such as FORCE_RESET_PASSWORD, MFA challenge based configuration.

Authenticated API Invocations

To invoke authenticated APIs, set the Authorization HTTP Header with: Bearer <access_token>and invoke applicable APIs.

Examples

cURL

 curl -s -k -L -X POST "CLUSTER_ALB_ENDPOINT/cluster-manager/api/v1" \
     --header "Authorization: Bearer $BEARER" \
     --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --data-raw '{
            "header": {
                "namespace": "Accounts.CreateUser"
            },
            "payload": {
                "user": {
                    "username": "newuser",
                    "password": "password",
                    "email": "email",
                    "additional_groups": ["managers-cluster-group"]
                },
                "email_verified": true
            }
}'

Python (full example - get access token and query API)

Accounts.CreateUser namespace requires elevated access. Make sure to test this API with a user that belong to manager or cluster-admin groups (e.g: clusteradmin)

import requests
import json
import sys
IDEA_ENDPOINT = "HTTPS://<DNS>"
IDEA_USER = "USER_WITH_ADMIN_PRIVILEGES"
IDEA_PASSWORD = "PASSWORD"
