Add Active Directory via API call(s)

[jimmyvandermast]

I managed to create an automated installation of LCM (ovftool), do the basic config, deploy the globalenvironment (deploy vIDM), import current vRA7, deploy new vRA8, and some more things like that.

Now I need perform the Add Directory to vIDM.

I have searched on many different ways but cannot find which API call to do agains which server (service).
Manually, this is done by logging in to the vIDM. But in the vIDM API I cannot find anything related to adding an Active Directory.
Some other posts in the internet gave me the idea to do it via LCM, but I cannot find any API related call there too.

Anyone have any clou where to go?

To make a long story short, I managed to get it working.

The base API is /lcm/authzn/api/idp/dirConfigs

Do you have a sample payload you used for creating the directory? Not sure what goes in the directoryConfig object.

{

"directoryConfig": {},

"directoryType": "ActiveDirectory",

"vidmAdminPassword": "some-password",

"vidmAdminUser": "configadmin",

"vidmHost": "vidm.corp.local,

"vidmTenant": "default",

"vidmVersion": "3.3.5"

}
