Edit credentials description

[Mardock]

Hi,
I'm trying to edit credentials description. I make HTTP PUT request but the server response is 500 internal server error.

This is my example request:

Code: Select all

Request:
PUT http://<Enterprise-Manager>:9399/api/backupServers/{ID_bckupServer}/credentials/{ID_credentials}

Request Header:
X-RestSvcSessionId NDRjZmJkYmUtNWE5NS00MTU2LTg4NjctOTFmMDY5YjdjMmNj

Request Body:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CredentialsInfo Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/f62624c1-8462-4747-8bd4-d686f35b0540/credentials/9a8fb453-cacd-4089-a97e-437e99f128bc" Type="Credentials" xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
	<Id>9a8fb453-cacd-4089-a97e-437e99f128bc</Id>
	<Description>Edited via RESTful API</Description>
</CredentialsInfo>

Response:
500 Internal server error.

Thank you,
Mardock.

Hi Mardock,

Did you try to make a POST request instead of PUT?

Cheers,

As far as I'm aware, it should be PUT method. I've just edited the credentials, using the following body request, and everything seems to have worked properly. So, feel free to try it:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CredentialsInfo Type="Credentials" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/{ID}/credentials/{ID}" xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <Id>{ID}</Id>
  <Username>{NAME}</Username>
  <Description>Edited via RestAPI</Description>
  <Password/>
</CredentialsInfo>

Thanks.

You are right. It also works without <Username> and <Password/> tags as OP suggested:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<CredentialsInfo Href="http://10.0.0.5:9399/api/backupServers/25fa85fe-df49-42f5-b289-f1b2fd69961c/credentials/5968272a-3c63-409d-ae3c-fe013794df93" Type="Credentials" xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
	<Id>5968272a-3c63-409d-ae3c-fe013794df93</Id>
	<Description>no user, no pass</Description>
</CredentialsInfo>

Hi,
The request doesn't work yet...

If I sniff the HTTP traffic I get in the body of response the following error :

Code: Select all

Unable to deserialize XML body with root name 'CredentialsInfo' and root namespace 'http://www.veem.com/ent/v1.0' (for operation 'EditCredentials' and contract ('IEnterpriseRestService',  'http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0')) using XmlSerializer. Ensure that the type corresponding to the XML is added to the known types collection of the service.

Thank you very much,
Mardock.

Is "Content-Type: text/xml" in your request headers as well?

Here is an example using Python Requests: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8d5tflshe1hyy ... ription.py

[Mardock]

Yes, in my request headers there are:

Content-Type: text/xml;
Host: veeamserver:9398
Content-Length: 479
Expect: 100-continue

Thank you,
Mardock

Might it be that you're setting headers two times, instead of one? Thanks.
