Does anyone know of a way to use active directory credentials to work with the API?
Local accounts work, however I get a 403 client error when trying with AD credentials. URL is server:17778/.../Query
Brutally honest speak from me: I don't use anything except the PowerShell if there's any alternative and that supports the -Trusted parameter which passes through the current user's credentials to the SolarWinds Information Service. When you start talking about python, perl, curl, etc. I take a step back.
-Trusted
Hi there Jamie,Are you using the SDK with PowerShell or Python, or are you trying a straight GET request?
You can pass the authentication via the url: https://username:password@example.com/ Though I would recommend either using Swis-Connect (Powershell) or SwisClient (Python).

I am working with SwisClient in python.
Here's a simple python example, the username (at least in our environment) needs the domain, such as domain\username and the user needs to be a SolarWinds admin user.
from orionsdk import SwisClient
npm_server = 'solar01.domain.net'username = 'domain\user'password = 'password
swis = SwisClient(npm_server, username, password)
results = swis.query("SELECT TOP 3 NodeID, DisplayName FROM Orion.Nodes")
print(results)
Would it matter if the AD accounts are added locally or can they just be in an AD group that has been added?
