For more information on the authentication token, refer to the following documents.
-
iControl® REST API User Guide Version 13.0, especially the following sections:
- About iControl and authentication for user accounts, pp. 20-21.
- About external authentication providers with iControl REST, pp. 22-23
-
BIG-IQ® Systems: REST API Reference
- Authentication token resource API, pp. 3-53 -- 3-58
... I know. The docs do not define what
lastUpdateMicros
and ExpirationMicros
fields mean ... but we can certainly guess. Try EpochConvertet. If you are using the python API, try
>>> import time
>>> time.gmtime(1386701529797298/10**6)
time.struct_time(tm_year=2013, tm_mon=12, tm_mday=10, tm_hour=18, tm_min=52, tm_sec=9, tm_wday=1, tm_yday=344, tm_isdst=0)
