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.

REST API Call to NSX-T Manager Authentication

ukonstantin — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 13:58:19 GMT

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?

Re: Is it a necessary to change the MTU size to 1700 if I just use DFW of NSX?

ukonstantin — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 07:56:07 GMT

In most datacenter infrastructure environments (Cisco, Aruba etc..) the MTU Size is per default set to Jumbo frames.

When you still use NSX-T only for the DFW it is still not necessary to change the MTU to 1700. But anyway it is recommended for a long-term plan. Maybe if an overlay will later implemented.

Re: Add a new user for an edge node

ukonstantin — Fri, 23 Sep 2022 09:52:14 GMT

Hi @Sreec ,

thank you for answering. The problem was solved. I also now it isn't possible to add another user. The reason for that was to give any external access to the system w/o changing anything or give a company known password.

Hello,

Transport Node connection to Manager down

ukonstantin — Wed, 21 Sep 2022 13:13:13 GMT

Hello,

our customer noticed the following error:

The Transport node <XYZ> control plane connection to Manager node <Manager IP> is down for at least 3 minutes from the Transport node''s point of view.

My question: How do I found out the IP address of the transport node? Because I only have the UUID? Also I can't found the UUID with the command:

get transport-nodes status ....

and on the GUI.

The UUID appears only in the error message!

Is it possible the transport node was removed and the error wasn't cleared?

Failed to import NSX-T API Specification into Postman

ukonstantin — Fri, 15 Jul 2022 06:36:15 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to import the NSX-T API Specification as a collection into Postman.

I go through the steps described here:
https://burakyucal.medium.com/nsx-t-api-with-postman-c0452b426807

Also I tried to import the API Spec as file and not paste it as raw text.

I downloaded the API from our NSX-T 3.12 environment and also downloaded it from vmware side:

https://developer.vmware.com/apis/1163/nsx-t

Just to make sure everything is ok with the file.

After that I push the import button an upload the APIC spec. After a while I got an unexpected error. This happens every time even if the ile was uploaded or pasted as raw text into postman.

I use postman version 9.24.0

Any idea what can be the problem?

NSX-T Access with Postman

ukonstantin — Tue, 05 Jul 2022 06:55:59 GMT

Hi all,

I notice the following problem while accessing the NSX-T API via Postman.

I created an environment for the NSX-T controller. The values are:

Username: xxx

Password: xxx

baseUrl: xxx

When I access the Controller manually the values are working. If I try to make a request (for example):

{{baseUrl}}/node/services/syslog/status

and set the Authorization to Type "Inherit auth from parent" I got a status 403 forbidden.

But when I set the Type to Basic Auth with the same values, the request work.

Also another problem while using the LDAP password (authentication via VIDM):

The request works only with the local username.

NSX-T Version: 3.1.2.1.2.18166854

Any help?

Kind Regards

Udo
