Our company frequently deals with certificates, and thus far, we have manually uploaded them to DataPower for renewal. Is there a way to bypass the manual upload and generate an API to automatically transfer certificates to DataPower?

Hi Julie -  following your post. I am interested to know too.  We are facing the same issue with certs.

 

Thanks,

Annie

Have you looked at the SOMA XML Management interface?  It's basically a administrative SOAP service that can do just about anything you can do through the GUI.  For this use-case, there is an operation to upload files to the file system.  To make the cert active, you would probably also have to follow the upload with a disable/enable of the object, or restart of the domain.

Hi Dan – Thank you for replying to my post. Appreciate it. Let me try this and will let you know.


Thanks,
Annie

I have not used the management APIs on the objects themselves, though I imagine it's probably possible.  I have definitely used the APIs to Quiesce Domain, Restart Domain, Clear Cache, Unquiesce domain.  Assuming your load balancer will try another server if one doesn't accept it's request, the Quiesce would be a good way to stop accepting new traffic while finishing workloads in progress.  But i'll be honest that I don't know enough about load balancer groups though to say for sure what that behavior would be.
