Thanks for sharing your feedback!
This article presents how to create and update a device in PAM Core via API, the available endpoints, the parameters needed, example requests, and responses on success or in case of errors.
Authorization
To get started, make sure PAM Core is listed under Authorized resources in your A2A module. For more information on authorization, access How to create an authorization for an application.
Authentication
Each request in the API must have the OAuth Consumer Key and the OAuth Token of the client.
For more information on authentication, access How to authenticate an application.
Methods
Create a device
Request
To create a device in PAM Core, send a request to the following endpoint:
POST /iso/pam/device
Request parameters
Info
If the hostname provided matches that of a previously created device, this request will update the existing device. If not, it creates a new device and assigns it to this hostname.
Body
| Field | Type | Required | Description | Example | New device default value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ip | String | Yes | Device's IP address. | 172.10.21.21 | - |
| hostname | String | Yes | Device name. | Device-via-API | - |
| model | String | Yes | Device model. A new model is created if unique. | Linux | - |
| type | String | Yes | Device type. A new type is created if unique. | RedHat | - |
| vendor | String | Yes | Device vendor. A new vendor is created if unique. | Desktop | - |
| site | String | Yes | Device's site. A new site is created if unique. | AWS | - |
| device_domain | String | No | Domain name or abbreviation. Only previously registered domains are accepted. | api, app | - |
| device_tags | String | No | Tags associated with this device. | api, app | - |
| connectivities | String | No | Device connectivity. | SSH:22 | - |
| session_remote_config | String | No | Login expression. | - |
Attention
When listing device_domains, add commas without a space between them, as in the following example:
“testlab.com,demo.lab.com”.
