Hi,
I'm new to VMware APIs and vRealize Operations Manger 6.0 Please let me know if there is a more appropriate forum on which to post this question.
Following the directions returned by OpenAPIServlet, I'm trying to perform a simple login to vRealize Operations Manager 6.0 via RESTful calls using curl. After obtaining a JSESSIONID and sending as a cookie, my HTTP POST fails with a HTTP 500. Tracing out the exception from the stack trace (see below), the cause appears to be an attempt to URL decode a string that is null. Maybe I am missing one or more required HTTP headers that is null and causing this problem? I'm sending all the headers shown in the aforementioned directions, and have found very little-to-no info via Internet search.
Furthermore, using the same user/passwd manually in a browser, I can successfully login to vRealize Operations Manager so I know I have a valid, working account. We are running vRealize Ops Mgr 6.0.
Anyone know what is causing the HTTP 500 or have any other input?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
