Accessing a Secured Service Grid
When security is in place, the administration tools require credentials to securely access and operate the secured components. Access is granted to authenticated users, while operations are restricted based on the granted permission. For more information, refer to the Security for Smart Cache Service Grid topic in the Next Level guide (under the Data Grid Basics section).
To access a secured service grid:
Command:
gs.{sh/bat} --username=<user name> --password=<password> <command>
Example:
<GS_HOME>/bin/gs --username=user --password=pass host list
<GS_HOME>/bin/gs.sh --username=user --password=pass host list
Parameters and Options:
| Item | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Option | username | The user name. |
| Option | password | The password. |
When security is enabled, the REST
REpresentational State Transfer. Application Programming Interface
An API, or application programming interface, is a set of rules that define how applications or devices can connect to and communicate with each other. A REST API is an API that conforms to the design principles of the REST, or representational state transfer architectural style. Manager API performs basic authentication and checks if the user has sufficient privileges
to execute the operation.
For more information about using the REST Manager API in a secured environment, refer to the REST Manager API introductory page.
