Setting server_enabled to true after installing SSL certificate from REST API (ONTAP 15)

aaa1 — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 10:11:09 GMT

I am automating SSL renewal procedure.

I have managed to install the certificate, but after installation I would like to enable it (usually done in CLI in the security ssl cmddir by parsing the -server-enabled true argument) to take over from the certificate currently enabled.

These are the endpoints present in the /api/docs:

GET /security/certificates

POST /security/certificates

GET /security/certificates/{uuid}

DELETE /security/certificates/{uuid}

Can someone help navigating me further to accomplish this? I have without success tried in two different ways to update by trying the PATCH method, although not present in documentation, as well as looking through the docs of svm endpoints.

does this work

/security/certificates/{uuid}/enable ?

Thanks for the response.

With POST, PATCH or? I do not have this endpoint in the documentation. Can I ask you where you found this?

I tried with multiple HTTP methods and get error "Unexpected argument: "enable"

Hello Anders,

To update the web services security configuration and set a certificate for an SVM, the /api/svm/svms/{svm.uuid}/web endpoint should be used.

Please refer to the official REST API documentation for more information on this endpoint: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-restapi/ontap/svm_svms_svm.uuid_web_endpoint_overview.html#updating-the-web-services-security-configuration

As for the Python Client Library, the WebSvm object can be used. For more information, refer to the official library documentation here: https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMLP3331665/html/resources/web_svm.html

I hope this is helpful.

Best,

Noor Buchi

I am also working to automate SSL renewal. Did you get this working? Could you share your code?
