Does this script actually work on R80.20? Specifically on MDS? I sort of got it to work on SC but never on MDS. I can never match the fingerprint. api fingerprint value never matches what the server returns. I eventually gave up and wrote a bash hack to do the same but I'd actually like to use python and the web api instead of mgmt_cli
