AA REST API swagger replaces FQDN with IP and removes https in base url, any easy fix possible?

  • 1.  AA REST API swagger replaces FQDN with IP and removes https in base url, any easy fix possible?

    Hi,

    I have REST API app running on https://fqdn:8443/aa-restapi/doc/ . But Base URL shows up as  ip:8443/aa-restapi/ca/advancedauth/v1. Shemes only show HTTP. When clicking Try it out, a REST API request is sent to i.e. http://ip:http://ip:8443/aa-restapi/ca/advancedauth/v1/admin/authtoken
    The same for a generated curl command
    curl -X POST "http://ip:8443/aa-restapi/ca/advancedauth/v1/admin/authtoken" -H "accept: application/json" -H "content-type: application/json" -d ...

     

     

     

    Is there a way to fix it, a conf file?

     

    Thanks,

    Vlad

    Hi Vlad, 

     

    After looking internally I found that there is a defect opened on this issue and the latest on the defect notes is below:

     

    ===================================

    swagger doesn't support SSL API calls, this was documented, please see below docops link.

    Limitations:

    • Currently, Swagger support is available for only Chrome.
    • Swagger does not support SSL

    ============================================

     

    You will be updated via case with the final conclusion.

     

    thanks

    Hi Awijit,

    I have had a ticket opened for a month and haven't received any update that there is a pending defect for this already. In the current state without ssl, Swagger is a dangerous tool because the credentials are not protected in the transit. The documentation is pretty frustrating as well, because it says as below until you find a "foot print" with Limitations.

    The base URL for the REST API is defined by the protocol, host, and application context on the root level of the API specification.

    The base URL used for all operations is formatted as follows:

    <protocol>://<host>:<port>/<application_context>/ca/advancedauth/v1/

    The components of the base URL are:

    • protocol
      Indicates the transfer protocols used by the REST API such as http and https.

    Thanks,

    Vlad

    I tested a dev fix and Swagger is fine now.

    Thanks,
