Create/Update operations are not working for Orion.Accounts through SolarWinds Rest API

Accounts are created and updated using verbs. See http://solarwinds.github.io/OrionSDK/schema/Orion.Accounts.html (at the bottom of the page) for a list. Let me know if you want examples.

Thank you for the quick response. Can you please share some examples on how

to create/update Orion.Accounts?

Thanks

Sure. To make sure the samples are useful for you, could you specify whether you want to create Orion database account, Windows user accounts, or Windows group accounts? And what kinds of updates you want to make?

The requirement is to create and update all account types from Restful API.

We also wanted to manage user passwords and as well as user group

assignments(add/remove) through Restful API. Please share some examples for

these operations

Thanks

Sorry for not replying sooner - this fell off my radar. I can make some samples if you are still interested. Do you have a preferred language for the samples?

Oh, and the only kind of user groups that Orion supports are Active Directory groups. To manage the assignment of users to these groups, you need to make the changes in AD, not in Orion.

Thank you for the reply. Can we assign the Active Directory groups to Orion accounts(not maintained in AD) managed in SolarWinds?. If Yes, does the API support this feature?.

if possible, please share the sample code developed using java.

The Java sample code we had up was pretty anemic, so I reworked it. (Warning - this code is only very lightly tested so far.) I added sample code for several different account management operations.

No, you cannot assign the Active Directory groups to Orion accounts. I don't even know what that would mean. You can use the Orion API to grant Orion access to an AD group. This is covered in the sample.

Oops - I forgot to link to the Java sample. It's at https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/tree/master/Samples/Java/swis-client
