Hi all,
I'm tearing my hair out here. I can successfully connect to the API via SOAP using PHP and calling the "ServiceInstance" method, I can get the following:
stdClass Object
(
[returnval] => stdClass Object
(
[rootFolder] => stdClass Object
(
[_] => ha-folder-root
[type] => Folder
)
[propertyCollector] => stdClass Object
(
[_] => ha-property-collector
[type] => PropertyCollector
)
[viewManager] => stdClass Object
(
[_] => ViewManager
[type] => ViewManager
)
[about] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => VMware ESXi
[fullName] => VMware ESXi 4.1.0 build-260247
[vendor] => VMware, Inc.
[version] => 4.1.0
[build] => 260247
[localeVersion] => INTL
[localeBuild] => 000
[osType] => vmnix-x86
[productLineId] => embeddedEsx
[apiType] => HostAgent
[apiVersion] => 4.1
[licenseProductName] => VMware ESX Server
[licenseProductVersion] => 4.0
)
[setting] => stdClass Object
(
[_] => HostAgentSettings
[type] => OptionManager
)
[userDirectory] => stdClass Object
(
[_] => ha-user-directory
[type] => UserDirectory
)
[sessionManager] => stdClass Object
(
[_] => ha-sessionmgr
[type] => SessionManager
)
[authorizationManager] => stdClass Object
(
[_] => ha-authmgr
[type] => AuthorizationManager
)
[perfManager] => stdClass Object
(
[_] => ha-perfmgr
[type] => PerformanceManager
)
[eventManager] => stdClass Object
(
[_] => ha-eventmgr
[type] => EventManager
)
[taskManager] => stdClass
However, I try to invoke a login call, but keep getting the following error message:
Uncaught SoapFault exception: [ServerFaultCode] The session is not authenticated
If I try and change ommit the userName or password nodes, I get the following (expected) error:
SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: object has no 'userName' property
This is my XML:
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<urn:Login>
<urn:_this type="SessionManager">SessionManager</urn:_this>
<urn:userName>redacted</urn:userName>
<urn:password>redacted</urn:password>
</urn:Login>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Any pointers greatly appreciated :-)
