Ciao Martin -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Rohit Yadav [mailto:rohit.ya...@shapeblue.com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 23. März 2016 15:28 An: users@cloudstack.apache.org Betreff: RE: API deploy virtualmachine failed with custom offering Hi Martin, The details argument for this API is a map, CloudMonkey simply wraps given arguments and creates a HTTP request so for maps it's always been a syntax like map[0].key=value. The usage of maps has been documented here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/CloudStack+cloudmonkey+CLI#CloudStackcloudmonkeyCLI-Argumentpassing This has not changed since 4.1/4.2. You may also debug by tailing cloudmonkey logs if you get further issues: tail -f ~/.cloudmonkey/log Though I think it's a good idea to automatically add this weird syntax so users can pass maps directly as map.key=value (your syntax). I'll see what I can do to fix this :) Regards.

I try to deploy a virtual machine with a custom offering via the API. But I get "401 unable to verify user credentials and/or request signature". First I thought my signing code is wonky (although it worked fine for over a year now)...

I use ACS 4.8.0, and I remember that it worked some time ago with 4.4.3. Thanks for any hints! Regards Martin
