https://localhost:8090/api/topology/services/{groupID}?servicesPort=8087


Parameters

groupID mandatory The group into which the new service must be placed.
servicesPort optional The business services port. This is required when creating a new API Server instance on disk so that the envSettings.props may be updated appropriately. Defaults to 8080.
signAlg optional The signing algorithm. Defaults to sha1.
keyPassphrase optional Passphrase used to encrypt the instance's private key file that is generated. The private key resides on disk temporarily until the signed certificate is generated. The private key will only reside on disk for milliseconds when this method is used.
domainPassphrase optional Passphrase used to unlock the domain private key so that it may be used to sign the SSL certificate for the service.
passphrase optional If a group of instances has their entity store passphrase set to "(prompt)" it must be passed here when a new instance is added to that group to ensure certs.xml is encrypted using the appropriate key.
service mandatory The new service to be created. This is passed in the request body. The id field is not required in the request body. Refer to Javadoc for com.vordel.api.topology.model.Service.
