Get certificate details

get

/rest/{version}/configuration/certificates

Retrieves the imported certificate (CA signed and self signed) details. This request works only for a certificate-record, for which a certificate was already imported. The query string must include the recordName attribute and the format attribute. The value of recordName is the certificate-record to get and the format attribute is used for deciding the display format of the certificate. The order of these attributes in the query string does not matter.

Request

Path Parameters

• version(required):
  REST API version string.
  Available values: v1.2

Query Parameters

• format(required):
  Format the certificate-record to be retrieved
• recordName(required):
  Name of the certificate

Header Parameters

• Authorization(required):
  The value in the Authorization header must be the string "Bearer {access token}", where {access token} is a valid, unexpired token received in response to a prior /rest/{version}/auth/token request.

Example of Accessing the API with Python

The following example shows how to get certificate details by submitting a GET request on the REST resource using Python. This example assumes you have a valid token stored in the token variable. For an example of authenticating with Python, see Authenticate.

import requests
headers = { "Accept":"application/xml", "Authorization":"Bearer " + token }
url  = "https://" + hostname + "/rest/v1.2/configuration/certificates?recordName=rest-server&format=detail"
resp = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
