Asmita, You might want to look at the following Python sample for how to generate the signature: https://github.com/kdamage/IndividualCode/blob/master/CloudStack%20API%20Signing%20Class/SignedAPICall.py
I noticed in your openssl command, you only used the "keypair=..." part of the query string. I think you need to include the entire query string, such as "command=listAccounts&keypair=...". - Chris On Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 7:21 AM, James Osbourn <james.osbo...@citrix.com>wrote: > I had problems generating API calls and generated a script to assist me > which I have attached to my response.
