Hi Kirk,
Pasting a rudimentary py script that fires a VM create operation, and in doing
so computes and passes on the signature to the VM create API. You can generate
the apikey and secretkey for the user in the CS GUI.
import httplib
import urllib
import urllib2
import hmac
import binascii
from hashlib import sha1
import base64
import os
ip = "10.223.76.20"
port = 8080
apikey =
"SFt5KoxRZ3hiQR03MMppTcKQH5iZH47vcvJcADtcD-vl_MUXyPj_S9910AwCdotXZ2ImRwXEzJd30Nk-mjZPQw"
secretkey =
"IhV4-fq2Xv-HC29_CtqfQGQo30roW7cjiAzU345O-6C9qdVXUwcOPeF5MBGNTwi3TWfWoggI-Iy6pYQsfnju6A"
respType = "json"
command = "deployVirtualMachine"
zoneId = "8ad0af04-3a20-4d2c-877f-000a568cf23c"
templateId = "1ce7d8c0-a6af-11e2-a9d9-000c29db3315"
hypervisor = "VMware"

networkIds = "6f4e78c2-0cd0-4807-b10d-1a8afe42eaa8"
displayname = "vm14"
#autogenerate 15k of userdata.
userdata = b'%s'%(os.urandom(20*1024))
requests = {}
requests["apiKey"] = apikey
requests["response"] = respType
requests["command"] = command
requests["zoneId"] = zoneId
requests["hypervisor"] = hypervisor
requests["serviceOfferingId"] = serviceOfferingId
requests["userdata"] = base64.b64encode(userdata)
requests["displayname"] = displayname
requests["templateId"] = templateId
requests["networkIds"] = networkIds
request = zip(requests.keys(), requests.values())
request.sort(key=lambda x: str.lower(x[0]))
requestUrl = urllib.urlencode(request)
hashStr = "&".join(["=".join([str.lower(r[0]),
str.lower(urllib.quote_plus(str(r[1]))).replace("+", "%20")]) for r in request])
sig = urllib.quote_plus(base64.encodestring(hmac.new(secretkey, hashStr,
sha1).digest()).strip())
requestUrl += "&signature=%s"%sig
protocol = "http"
path = "/client/api"
url = "%s://%s:%d%s"%(protocol, ip, port, path)
req = urllib2.Request(url, requestUrl)
connection = urllib2.urlopen(req)
response = connection.read()
print response

Vijay

Subject: Re: API - listTemplates, not working or I am doing something wrong??
Does anyone have a script for creating signatures?
