Administration API Guide¶

Last updated on Mar 06 2023.

Introduction¶

This guide documents the usage of the OVD Enterprise Administration API. The API can be used to script and/or automate any action available in the OVD Administration Console.

The OVD Administration API is available via two different protocols:

SOAP for OVD versions prior to 3.2.
REST / JSON

SOAP Endpoint¶

OVD version restrictions

The SOAP API is no longer available after OVD version 3.1.

The Administration API is available with the SOAP messaging protocol via HTTP(s) transport.

The service end-point is: https://{OVD_SESSIONMANAGER_HOST}/ovd/service/admin and the WSDL API definition document is available at https://{OVD_SESSIONMANAGER_HOST}/ovd/service/admin/wsdl.

REST / JSON Endpoint¶

The Administration API is also available through the use of RESTful web services.

The service end-point is: https://{OVD_SESSIONMANAGER_HOST}/ovd/service/admin/{function}.

Overview¶

This sections covers a few basic concepts that are required knowledge to properly use the OVD Administration API.

Authentication¶

The API authentication uses the same credentials as the OVD Administration Console.

The credentials must be provided using the HTTP basic access authentication scheme (Authorization: Basic <credentials>).

Once the initial request has been authenticated, the server will return a session cookie that can be used for further requests instead of sending the credentials for every request. This is optional as it is OK to send the credentials for each request.

When using Two-Factor Authentication, the API will return the auth_mfa_required code. You will then need to call the mfa_authenticate method to complete authentication.

The mfa_method endpoint provides information about which 2FA method is configured for the user. The mfa_attempt_email, mfa_attempt_u2f, and mfa_attempt_duo (OVD version 3.2+) endpoints can then be called to trigger the appropriate 2FA method.

Retrieving Object IDs¶

Object IDs will often be required as input parameters for API operations that act upon specific objects, so knowing how to access these IDs is essential to using the API.

Here are a few ways object IDs can be retrieved:

IDs from overall list of all objects: There are API operations to retrieve lists of most items and these lists will have the individual object IDs as keys and the objects, which have the object ID as an attribute, as values.

You can process these lists to have whatever attribute you know as a key instead and use the new, processed list to retrieve object IDs.
Return value for new objects: When creating new objects, all creation methods will return the ID of the new object.

For example, when calling the service_notice_create method with the appropriate parameters, the return information will be a randomized ID string, such as mu44nudp.
Inspect OAC URLs: IDs can be retrieved via the Admin Console by inspecting the URL when viewing an object.

For instance, after creating a message object in the Administration Console and opening the info page of the new object, you can see the URL in your browser is of the format https://{OVD_SESSIONMANAGER_HOST}/ovd/admin/message.php?id=mh5ygrhx.

From this example URL, the object ID is mh5ygrhx. This is the value that can be used in your scripts.

Configuring OVD Settings¶

The settings_get / settings_set operations are used to manipulate OVD settings.

Calling settings_get will provide a nested data structure which, for each parameter, provides all relevant information for the setting, including its type and current value.

Here is subset of the data structure as an example:

{
    "general": {
        [...]
        "remote_desktop_settings": {
            "desktop_icons": {
                "value": 1,
                "type": "select",
                "default_value": 1,
                "possible_values": [
                    0,
                    1
                ],
                "id": "desktop_icons"
            },
            "desktop_type": {
                "value": "any",
                "type": "select",
                "default_value": "any",
                "possible_values": [
                    "any",
                    "linux",
                    "windows"
                ],
                "id": "desktop_type"
            },
            "allowed_desktop_servers": {
                "value": [],
                "type": "list",
                "default_value": [],
                "id": "allowed_desktop_servers"
            }
        },
        [...]
    }
}

In order to change the settings values, you can call settings_set with the correct data structure. For the example snippet above, the remote_desktop_settings setting can be set using the following data input:

{
    "general": {
        "remote_desktop_settings": {
            "desktop_icons": 0,
            "desktop_type": "windows",
            "allowed_desktop_servers": [
                "192.168.0.5",
                "192.168.0.6",
                "192.168.0.7",
                "192.168.0.8"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Alternatively, the data can also be represented in string-format only, instead of using a nested structure:

{
    "general.remote_desktop_settings.desktop_icons": 0,
    "general.remote_desktop_settings.desktop_type": "windows",
    "general.remote_desktop_settings.allowed_desktop_servers": [
        "192.168.0.5",
        "192.168.0.6",
        "192.168.0.7",
        "192.168.0.8"
    ]
}

User and Group specific settings¶

The logic is the same for user and group level settings but the data structure differs slightly so there are specific API functions to deal with these cases.

For users, settings can be retrieved with the user_info operation and updated with user_settings_set.

Similarly, for groups, settings can be retrieved with the users_group_info operation and updated with users_group_settings_set.

Using the SOAP API with PHP¶

OVD version restrictions

The SOAP API is no longer available after OVD version 3.1.

This section describes how to call and use the SOAP API using PHP as the scripting language.

This example requires PHP (cli) and the SOAP PHP module to be installed. For instance, on a Ubuntu base system:

^$
sudo apt install php-cli php-soap

Examples¶

Initialize the API object¶

Define variables:

$host = 'osm.test.demo';
$user = 'admin';
$password = 's3cr3t';

Create the SOAP object:

$service = new SoapClient(
    'https://'.$host.'/ovd/service/admin/wsdl',
    [
        'login' => $user,
        'password' => $password,
        'location' => 'https://'.$host.'/ovd/service/admin',
    ]
);

Create a helper print function to display the API output data:

function j_out($data) {
    echo(json_encode($data, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT).PHP_EOL);
}

Call the first function: eula_get_acceptance

j_out( $service->eula_get_acceptance() );

The following return value is output:

{
    "time": 1619734472,
    "ip": "10.6.0.22"
}

Get a list of users based on a specific filter¶

This example uses the users_list_partial API function to return a list of all users with logins that contain the letter "c".

Call:

j_out( $service->users_list_partial('c*') );

Return value:

{
    "data": {
        "cholland": {
            "login": "cholland",
            "displayname": "Charlotte Holland"
        },
        "cthompson": {
            "login": "cthompson",
            "displayname": "Chris Thompson"
        }
    },
    "partial": false
}

Note

This user data is generated by the users_populate function for testing purposes.

This example assumes that you are using the internal database.

Create a script using script_add:

j_out($service->script_add(
    'my 1st script', // Name
    'all', // OS
    'python', // Type
    'print("This script will be executed at session start!")' // Data
));

This function call returns the ID of the script:

Create a user group using users_group_add:

j_out($service->users_group_add(
    'users with scripts', // Name
    'This group has a login script published' // Description
));

This function call returns the ID of the new group:

Publish the script to the group with the users_group_add_script function:
```
j_out($service->users_group_add_script(
    1, // Script ID
    2 // User Group ID
));
```
This function call returns either true or false to indicate if the add was successful:
```
true
```
Finally, add a user to this group by using the users_group_add_user function:
```
j_out($service->users_group_add_user(
    'cholland', // User Login
    2 // User Group ID
));
```
This function call returns either true or false to indicate if the add was successful:
```
true
```

Universal script to call any API Operation¶

Instead of creating script files for each task, you may prefer to manipulate the API via command line. This is possible by using the ovd-admin-api PHP script.

Use the following command line instruction to use this script:

^$
php ovd-admin-api.php admin:s3cr3t@OVD_SESSIONMANAGER_HOST application_info 2

Info

The first option passed to the script contains the credentials and the host to communicate with. This information is passed using the following format: user:password@host.
The second option is the name of the API function we want to call. In our example: application_info.
Any further options passed to the API function will be function parameters. The script expects the function parameters to be provided using JSON syntax.

Extra parameters are not mandatory as not all API functions will have parameters

Here is a small list of examples using the script:

Get detailed information for the user dpaul:

^$
php ovd-admin-api.php admin:s3cr3t@OVD_SESSIONMANAGER_HOST user_info dpaul

List all available applications:

^$
php ovd-admin-api.php admin:s3cr3t@OVD_SESSIONMANAGER_HOST applications_list

Restrict the above list to Windows-only applications:

^$
php ovd-admin-api.php admin:s3cr3t@OVD_SESSIONMANAGER_HOST applications_list windows

Extract the last 10 lines of each log file:

^$
php ovd-admin-api.php admin:s3cr3t@OVD_SESSIONMANAGER_HOST log_preview

Using the REST / JSON API with Python¶

For the REST API, the sample script is written in Python and requires the requests module.

This module can be installed using PIP:

^$
pip install requests requests_toolbelt

Examples¶

Initialize the API object¶

Define variables:

host = 'osm.test.demo'
user = 'admin'
password = 's3cr3t'

Create the API object:

import requests_toolbelt.sessions
api = requests_toolbelt.sessions.BaseUrlSession(
    base_url = f"https://{host}/ovd/service/admin/",
)
api.auth = (user, password)
api.verify = False

Create a helper print function to display the API output data:

import json
def j_out(response):
    print(json.dumps(response.json(), indent=4))

Call the first function: eula_get_acceptance

j_out( api.post("eula_get_acceptance") )

The following return value is output:

{
    "time": 1619734472,
    "ip": "10.6.0.22"
}

Get a list of users based on a specific filter¶

This example uses the users_list_partial API function to return a list of all users with logins that contain the letter "c".

Call:

j_out( api.post("users_list_partial", json={"args": ['c*', None, None]}) )

Return value:

{
    "data": {
        "cholland": {
            "login": "cholland",
            "displayname": "Charlotte Holland"
        },
        "cthompson": {
            "login": "cthompson",
            "displayname": "Chris Thompson"
        }
    },
    "partial": false
}

Note

This user data is generated by the users_populate function for testing purposes.

This example assumes that you are using the internal database.

Create a script using script_add:

j_out(api.post("script_add", json={"args": [
    'my 1st script', # Name
    'all', # OS
    'python', # Type
    'print("This script will be executed at session start!")', # Data
]}))

This function call returns the ID of the script:

Create a user group using users_group_add:

j_out(api.post("users_group_add", json={"args": [
    'my with script', # Name
    'This group has a login script published', # Description
]}))

This function call returns the ID of the new group:

Publish the script to the group with the users_group_add_script function:
```
j_out(api.post("users_group_add_script", json={"args": [
    1, # Script ID
    2, # User Group ID
]}))
```
This function call returns either true or false to indicate if the add was successful:
```
true
```
Finally, add a user to this group by using the users_group_add_user function:
```
j_out(api.post("users_group_add_user", json={"args": [
    "cholland", # User Login
    2, # User Group ID
]}))
```
This function call returns either true or false to indicate if the add was successful:
```
true
```

Universal script to call any API Operation¶

Instead of creating script files for each task, you may prefer to manipulate the API via command line. This is possible by using the ovd-admin-api Python script.

Use the following command line instruction to use this script:

^$
python ovd-admin-api.py admin:s3cr3t@OVD_SESSIONMANAGER_HOST application_info 2

The script expects JSON syntax for function parameters.

Here is a small list of examples using the script:

Get detailed information for the user dpaul:

^$
python ovd-admin-api.py admin:s3cr3t@OVD_SESSIONMANAGER_HOST user_info dpaul

List all available applications:

^$
python ovd-admin-api.py admin:s3cr3t@OVD_SESSIONMANAGER_HOST applications_list

Restrict the above list to Windows-only applications:

^$
python ovd-admin-api.py admin:s3cr3t@OVD_SESSIONMANAGER_HOST applications_list windows

Extract the last 10 lines of each log file:

^$
python ovd-admin-api.py admin:s3cr3t@OVD_SESSIONMANAGER_HOST log_preview
