This file has been automatically generated based on the ONTAP REST API documentation.

Overview

This API endpoint is designed to manage the client certificate during communication between ONTAP and DCN nodes. In this context, ONTAP functions as a client. The PATCH method is used to update the certificate that ONTAP uses when communicating with DCN (where ONTAP acts as a client), while the GET method retrieves this certificate.

Examples

Retrieving the client certificate that ONTAP uses for communication with DCN nodes

The following output shows the client certificate that ONTAP uses for communication with DCN nodes. 

from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
from netapp_ontap.resources import DcnCertificate

with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
    resource = DcnCertificate()
    resource.get()
    print(resource)


DcnCertificate(
    {
        "ontap-cert-name": "ontap-cert",
        "_links": {"self": {"href": "/api/dcn/security/client"}},
    }
)

Modifies the client certificate that ONTAP uses for communication with DCN nodes

The following output shows how to update the client certificate that ONTAP uses for communication with DCN nodes. 

from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
from netapp_ontap.resources import DcnCertificate

with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
    resource = DcnCertificate()
    resource.ontap_cert_name = "new_cert1"
    resource.patch()

Classes

class DcnCertificate (*args, **kwargs)

Allows interaction with DcnCertificate objects on the host

Initialize the instance of the resource.

Any keyword arguments are set on the instance as properties. For example, if the class was named 'MyResource', then this statement would be true:

MyResource(name='foo').name == 'foo'

Args

*args
Each positional argument represents a parent key as used in the URL of the object. That is, each value will be used to fill in a segment of the URL which refers to some parent object. The order of these arguments must match the order they are specified in the URL, from left to right.
**kwargs
each entry will have its key set as an attribute name on the instance and its value will be the value of that attribute.

Methods

def get (self, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse

Retrieves the client certificate that ONTAP uses for communication with DCN nodes.

  • dcn security client show

Learn more

Fetch the details of the object from the host.

Requires the keys to be set (if any). After returning, new or changed properties from the host will be set on the instance.

Returns

A NetAppResponse object containing the details of the HTTP response.

Raises

NetAppRestError: If the API call returned a status code >= 400 or if not all of the keys required are present and config.STRICT_GET has been set to True.

def patch (self, hydrate: bool = False, poll: bool = True, poll_interval: Optional[int] = None, poll_timeout: Optional[int] = None, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse

Updates the client certificate that ONTAP uses for communication with DCN nodes.

Required properties

  • ontap-cert-name - Name of the client certificate used by ONTAP.
  • dcn security client modify

Learn more

Send the difference in the object's state to the host as a modification request.

Calculates the difference in the object's state since the last time we interacted with the host and sends this in the request body.

Args

hydrate
If set to True, after the response is received from the call, a a GET call will be made to refresh all fields of the object.
poll
If set to True, the call will not return until the asynchronous job on the host has completed. Has no effect if the host did not return a job response.
poll_interval
If the operation returns a job, this specifies how often to query the job for updates.
poll_timeout
If the operation returns a job, this specifies how long to continue monitoring the job's status for completion.
connection
The HostConnection object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
**kwargs
Any key/value pairs passed will normally be sent as query parameters to the host. If any of these pairs are parameters that are sent as formdata then only parameters of that type will be accepted and all others will be discarded.

Returns

A NetAppResponse object containing the details of the HTTP response.

Raises

NetAppRestError: If the API call returned a status code >= 400
