Create Logon Session with curl php

[sirinech]

Hello Every Body, I'm trying to get the X-RestSession using curl php :

Code: Select all

$ch = curl_init();
$curlConfig = array(
    CURLOPT_URL            =>     $url,
	CURLOPT_VERBOSE        => true,
	CURLOPT_HEADER         => true,
    CURLOPT_POST           =>  true,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    
);
curl_setopt_array($ch, $curlConfig);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
            array(
			'HTTP_AUTH_LOGIN: '.$login,
            'HTTP_AUTH_PASSWD: '.$passwd, 
            'Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8',
            'Content-Length: '.strlen($data),
            'Authorization: Basic '.$data,
));

 
curl_exec($ch);

But I get this screen:

What could be the problem??

I changed the code to this and it worked but I don't see the X-RestSvcSessionId in the response header how do I get it?

Are experiencing any problems while trying to create logon session via cURL? The following request should work fine, at least it does so in my case (I'm using Windows cURL client):

Code: Select all

curl -XPOST -v -u user:password http://EM:9399/api/sessionMngr/ -H "Content-Length: 0"

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I was looking to do something similar using PHP - however, I have since realised that there are a large number of code samples provided as part of the Veeam EM installation (C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Enterprise Manager\samples) which I used to connect instead.

Thanks.
