API Rest token-based auth problem

This is continuation of discussion here

LB: Viprion vCMP Guest, version 11.5.2 1.23.169

Problem: when I run python script using code from article mentioned above (without any changes), I get following error:

 

C:\Python27>python auth_test.py 10.10.10.10 test_user testpool
test_user, enter your password: Password:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "auth_test.py", line 47, in 
    token = get_token(b, url_auth, (username, password))
  File "auth_test.py", line 14, in get_token
    token = bigip.post(url, json.dumps(payload)).json()['token']['token']
KeyError: 'token'

 

Do somebody know what can be the reason? I am suspecting line: token = bigip.post(url, json.dumps(payload)).json()['token']['token']

Thanks for any advise, Zdenek

    Remove the ['token']['token'] from the end of that line and then add "print token" on the next line so you can evaluate the output. Feel free to edit your question with that output and I'll take a look at what's going on.

    Hi Jason, I tried to remove ['token']['token'] and got following:

    I tried to get rid of some error messages and removed calling of function "create_pool", but then I got only (no output from "print token" visible):

    Hi, does somebody have the same problem? I tried couple of more tests, but am not able to get it working. Jason, if you read it, can you please post whether you have tested it on version 11.5.2 or only on v12? Thx Zdenek

      sorry to take so long to get back to you. As i stated earlier, if you removed the formatting on the token request and logged that, you'd see that that method is not supported in 11.5.2:

      {u'errorStack': [u'com.f5.rest.common.RestWorkerUriNotFoundException: http://localhost:8100/mgmt/shared/authn/login', u'at com.f5.rest.common.RestServer.trySendInProcess(RestServer.java:231)', u'at com.f5.rest.common.RestRequestReceiver.dispatchToService(RestRequestReceiver.java:93)', u'at com.f5.rest.common.RestRequestReceiver.processNext(RestRequestReceiver.java:57)', u'at com.f5.rest.common.RestHelper$2.run(RestHelper.java:1910)', u'at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145)', u'at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615)', u'at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722)\n'], u'message': u'http://localhost:8100/mgmt/shared/authn/login', u'code': 404, u'restOperationId': 6650}
