Hi, Gaspare To generate the signature, you need SecretKey as well as request parameter. CloudStack itself has the tools to generate signature for each request. The util location: test/src/com/cloud/test/utils/SignRequest.java
As an example, your apikey is APIKEY, secretkey is SECRETKEY and request url is URL, to generate the whole url with signature, the command line parameter should be: -a "APIKEY" -u "URL" -s "SECRETKEY" On Fri, Feb 22, 2013 at 3:36 PM, Gaspare A Silvestri <g.silves...@netsons.com> wrote: > Thank you for your answer. > > My problem is which API command using to create the signature and to be able > to access the console,\ using the custom link earlier written. > > Have you any advice about this? > > Thank you for your time! > > Gaspare > > > On 22/02/2013 08:33, Mice Xia wrote: >> >> >> http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.0.1-incubating/html/API_Developers_Guide/signing-api-requests.html >> >> this links to 'how to sign api request', hope it help. >> >> -Mice >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Gaspare A Silvestri [mailto:g.silves...@netsons.com] >> Sent: Friday, February 22, 2013 3:22 PM >> To: cloudstack-users@incubator.apache.org >> Subject: Re: VM Console Access - API >> >> Hello everybody, >> >> is there somebody that can help me about the previous request? >> >> Thanks a lot! >> >> Gaspare >> >> On 21/02/2013 15:59, Gaspare A Silvestri wrote: >>> >>> Hello everybody, >>> >>> me and my developement team are trying to access the Virtual Machine >>> console within our customize portal, accessing through the CS 4.0.1 APIs. >>> >>> We are not able to perform this task, always receiving the following >>> error: " _/*Access denied.
