can't optain cifs options using RestAPI on pstk 9.16.1.2501

Enagon

i'm trying to get all cifs options from a svm via pstk (9.16.1.2501)

using option -ZapiCall gives me all the options with values.

Without this option there are only some options populated with settings, for most of them i see the value false.

studying the help for the command didnt reveal how to do this via rest.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Enagon,

If there's an issue that requires you to revert to ZAPI you can always use the private REST CLI to invoke a command via HTTPS. Here's an example to get the CIFS options:

Param(
   [Parameter(Mandatory = $True, HelpMessage = "The Cluster name or IP Address")]
   [String]$Cluster,
   [Parameter(Mandatory = $True, HelpMessage = "The Vserver name")]
   [String]$VserverName,
   [Parameter(Mandatory = $True, HelpMessage = "The Credentials to authenticate to the cluster")]
   [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential]$Credential
)
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#'Set the certificate policy and TLS version.
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add-Type @"
   using System.Net;
   using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
   public class TrustAllCertsPolicy : ICertificatePolicy {
   public bool CheckValidationResult(
   ServicePoint srvPoint, X509Certificate certificate,
   WebRequest request, int certificateProblem) {
      return true;
   }
}
"@
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol  = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]'Tls12'
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::CertificatePolicy = New-Object TrustAllCertsPolicy
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function Get-NcAuthorization{
   [Alias("Get-NcAuth")]
   [CmdletBinding()]
   Param(
      [Parameter(Mandatory = $True, HelpMessage = "The Credential to authenticate to the cluster")]
      [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]
      [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential]$Credential
   )
   #'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   #'Set the authentication header to connect to the cluster.
   #'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   $auth    = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($Credential.UserName + ':' + $Credential.GetNetworkCredential().Password))
   $headers = @{
      "Authorization" = "Basic $auth"
      "Accept"        = "application/json"
      "Content-Type"  = "application/json"
   }
   Return $headers;
}#'End Function Get-NcAuthorization.
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$command = "vserver cifs options show -vserver $VserverName"
$headers = Get-NcAuth -Credential $Credential
$uri     = "https://$Cluster/api/private/cli/vserver/cifs/options?vserver=$VserverName&fields=client_session_timeout,default_unix_group,default_unix_user,read_grants_exec,wins_servers"
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#'Invoke the command via the private REST CLI.
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Write-Host "Executing Command`: $command"
Try{
   $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -Uri $uri -Headers $headers -ErrorAction Stop
}Catch{
   Write-Warning -Message $("Failed Executing Command`: $command. Error " + $_.Exception.Message)
   Break;
}
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#'Display the records.
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If($Null -eq $response -Or $response.num_records -eq 0){
   Write-Warning -Message "No records were returned from executing command`: $command"
}Else{
   $response.records
}
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Example Output:

PS C:\Scripts\PowerShell\Projects\GetCifsOptions> .\GetCifsOptions.ps1 -Cluster 192.168.100.2 -VserverName vserver1 -Credential $credential
Executing Command: vserver cifs options show -vserver svm_nfs_cifs

vserver                : vserver1
default_unix_user      : pcuser
read_grants_exec       : disabled
wins_servers           : {}
client_session_timeout : 900

Hope that helps
