Create FIrewall Policy - HTTPBased response 501

Luke, 

Were you able to get this to work? I recently started playing with the API and I have been able to successfully create firewall rules. If you want I can post the code here.

So I'm able to create firewall policies. The only issue I'm having is create a HTTPBased policy. In the API documentation you need to select a Policy type e.g User/Network/HTTPBased/NonHTTPBased/PublicNonHTTPPolicy. I can create all of these except for an HTTPBased. Just looking for minimum requirements or what I'm missing to make a valid request.

Luke,

I understand now. That is strange. Are you passing all these parameters into the browser or through a separate xml file?

Using Python to make the request. I have Python build the URL that will be passed in the request. The URL contains all the XML and is what I posted in the request section.

I would pass the XML as a separate file - If the XML request in the URL is too long it will fail out. Below is a function that I built in Python to do this - Give it a try with all the XML in a separate file:  Note to use this you only need to change the 'ip_address' variable and the 'xml_files' variable

 import requests

xml_files = ['myFile1.xml', 'myFile2.xml']  # Add xml files here
ip_address = '10.10.10.10'

def api_call(api_ip, xml_doc):
    api_url = r'https://{}:4444/webconsole/APIController?'.format(api_ip)
    payload = {'reqxml' : (None, open(xml_doc, 'rb'))}
    r = requests.post(api_url, files=payload, verify=False)
    print(r.text)

for file in xml_files:
    api_call(api_ip=ip_address, xml_doc=file)

Thanks, Ill give this a shot and see how it goes.

Sorry for the delay. I tested it with the file and I still seem to get 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response APIVersion="1700.1">
<Login>
<status>Authentication Successful</status>
</Login>
<SecurityPolicy transactionid="">
<Status code="501">Configuration parameters validation failed.</Status>
<InvalidParams/>
</SecurityPolicy>
</Response>

Am I missing anything or have anything set incorrectly?

Thanks,

Luke

Luke, 

It is hard to say if you missed something without seeing the full URL and XML being passed. Typically when I get that error message it means I have a typo somewhere. Considering it Authenticated correctly, your issue is after that in the XML and not with the URL or the Auth phase.

Yeah I think Im missing a few things. After doing what I could with the XML I started looking over the system logs. Think I found my issue in /log/apiparser.log. Seems I'm missing a few things.

Thanks for the help!

Luke, 

Yeah it is hard to say without the XML to compare it to, but it looks like you didn't define a <Network> tag correctly. 

Made changes to my request and added the missing elements. Still missing something as I'm still getting a 501 response.

Heres the XML Im passing

Im not sure why its not including whats missing or wrong with the request in the response. 

Let me know if you have any ideas or its miss configured. 

Thanks!

Luke, do you have a opening <Request> <Login> and <Set>  ?

Oh yes, sorry I forgot to added it in the post. 

Luke, 

Sorry I didn't respond sooner I must have missed that you posted. If you PM me the full XML file (obviously remove sensitive data) I will test it on my lab network and track down the issue for you. 

What can help is adding numbers to the "transaction ID" section - that way when the section fails your can trace the transaction ID to the specific command that failed. 

I am getting the exact same log output when trying to create an HTTPBasedPolicy via the XG18 api. Were you guys ever able to resolve this?
