REST API Call to NSX-T Manager Authentication

[ukonstantin]

Hello,

I would like to access our NSX-T Manager with via API (Postman). 
While doing this I notice access is only granted when using a local username like admin. 
Our Authentication to the managers is done via VIDM - LDAP. If I login to the GUI everything works fine while using my windows username. 
But this user/authentication doesn't work while using an API call 
The output on postman is: 
HTTPS Code 403
Warning: Self signed certificate in certificate chain

Any help?

Hello all!

I am also interested in the result of this question as well. We also use LDAP for authenticating most of our admins, and not everyone who needs access to API can have a local admin account, and we cannot share local admin password that wide either.

Hi, 

I found a solution for our problem: 

With Postman I use an environment with username and password. 

The username ist the LDAP user WITH the domain

<ldap_user>@<domain>.COM

With this it works for me.
