ansible get session id using MSD and module uri

Hello,

can somebody help me to get session ID?

I have try to use this api call.

https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/latest/APIs/index.html#web/login~v1.5%20

but I dont know what is correct.

Request URL
POST https://<mgmt-server>:<port>/web_api/v1.5/login

but in example is  without /web_api/

POST {{server}}/v1.5/login

 

so what is correct ?

 

also I have create ansible playbook log to CPMGMT via MSD.

'''

- name: Login to Check Point Management API
  uri:
    url: "https://{{ mdss_server }}/v1.5/login"
    method: POST
    validate_certs: no
    timeout: 30
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json
    body_format: json
    #body: { "user" : "{{ cp_user }}", "password" : "{{ cp_password }}", "domain": "{{ checkpoint_domain }}"  }
    body:
      user: "{{ cp_user }}"
      password: "{{ cp_password }}"
      domain": "{{ checkpoint_domain }}"
    return_content: yes
  register: result_login

- name: debug
  debug:
      msg: "{{ result_login }}"
'''

That looks like the API server isn’t actually enabled on the management server.
