Add a certificate to local user via Management API Web Services

Res — Tue, 06 Aug 2024 13:57:36 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to add a certificate (registration key) to a user via the management api.

But everytime i get an error.

This is my request body

{ "certificates" : { "add" : { "registration-key":{} } }, "uid" : "<removed>", "details-level" : "full" }

As a response i get:

{ "code": "generic_error", "message": "" }

How do a add a certificate to a local checkpoint user?

Thanks in advance!!

Check this out:

I assume you also seen api ref guide?

https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/latest/APIs/#cli/set-user~v1.9.1%20

Maybe the order is wrong first create cert and then reg key?

Hey Lesley,

thank you for your answer.
Via Smart Console CLI and mgmt_cli i can add a registration-key to a user

"set user name <Username> certificates.add.registration-key.expiration-days 14" works and a simular command on mgmt_cli also works.
But via Web services I get the error, and I would like to use web services. Maybe my syntax is wrong, but thats what i have seen everywhere.
