Error web_api_show_package

Simon_Garay — Tue, 20 Mar 2018 19:21:58 GMT

Hello everyone,

I need to export a policy package from the MGMT R80.10. This policy is applied to a virtual FW on VSX R76 Environment, however when I run "web_api_show_package.sh -g FW_1" it shows me the error "Script stopped running due to severe error!".

I've visited some forums without finding the answer, have you experienced this issue?

[Expert@MGMT-PRI:0]# ./web_api_show_package.sh -g FW_1
Script stopped running due to severe error!
Result file location: show_package-2018-03-20_03-51-32.tar.gz
[Expert@MGMT-PRI:0]#

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Best regards !

Hi,

Inside the generated tar archive, there is a log file, with ".elg" extension.

Please paste its content here, for analysis.

BTW, why are you exporting the policy out of your management?

Robert.

Hi Robert,

I show file ".elg".

- Why are you exporting the policy out of your management?

We export the policies from the management, however we can not visualize the IPs that the groups in the ".csv" file.

Thanks for answering.

Hi Simon,

The tool reports that it failed to login to the management server (login as root).

Try logging in using user name and possword instead.

If it still fails, run on the management server "api status" command and paste the output here.

your login request to the server fails due to an authentication error.

please verify that you can connect to the server using SmartConsole GUI with the same credentials.
