Creating an XML API Request

You can either create a new ACL or append specific rules to an exisiting ACLs. To create session ACL for the logon role do the following:

(host) (config-role) #netdestination xCP #an alias for the external Captive Portal server

(host) (config-dest) #host 10.11.12.13 #IP address of the external Captive Portal server

(host) (config-dest) #ip access-list session captiveportal #append or add rules to session

ACL

(host) (config-sess-captiveportal)#user alias xCP svc-https permit

(host) (config-sess-captiveportal)#user alias xCP svc-http permit

You can now create an XML request with an appropriate authentication command and send it to the controller via HTTPS post. The format of the URL to send the XML request is:

https://<controller-ip/auth/command.xml

•controller-ipis the IP address of the controller that will receive the authentication request

•command.xml is the XML request that contains the details of authentication.

The format of the XML API request is:

xml=<aruba command="<authentication_command>"> <options>Value</options>

...

<options>Value</options>

</aruba>

You can specify any of the following commands in the XML request:
