SSO LookupService API: register and unregister calls

[kadnreddy]

Hello,

I am wondering is there any API for register and unregister new component with SSO LookupService.?

Basically, I am trying to register my app with the LookupService. Once it is registered, then I can redirect authentication to vsphere-client SSO web page... This approach is similar to vCloud Director (vCD 5.1).

For example, if my app is registered to lookup service on serviceId=local:10  .. then my authentication url will be similar to this one.

https://avi.local:9443/vsphere-client/transfer/?appid=local:10

I thought of registering it through vi_regtool inside vCenter (SSO embedded)

/usr/lib/vmware-sso/bin/vi_regtool registerService -d https://avi.local:7444/lookupservice/sdk -u root -p vmware -si /tmp/avi_id -ip /tmp/avi.properties

but I got this exception

avi.propertes looks like this

[service] 
friendlyName=Avi Protector
version=1.0.1
ownerId=
type=urn:com.corp.avi 
description=Avi Protector

[endpoint0]
uri=http://avi.corp.com:8080/avi-ui-server/
ssl=
protocol=

So, can you please suggest me how to register my app to LookupService and redirect to vSphere-web-client page for SSO authentication.?

Thank you in advance.
