Initiating a UCP Advisor API session

You must generate an authentication token for the UCP system managed by UCP Advisor before you can run any administrative API on those systems.

1. Access the UCP Advisor API.
2. Expand the administration collection, and then click userLogin (POST /v2/auth/login).
   
   
   
   
3. Click Try it out.
4. In the payload pane, enter the following for the UCP system to which you want to connect:
   • username: Enter your username.
   • password: Enter your password.
5. Click Execute.
   
   
   
   
   The token is returned in the response body. Copy the required authentication token.
6. Click Authorize at the top of the Swagger UI page.
   
   

   

   
   
7. Paste the token in the Value field, and then click Authorize. Note: Do not enter a prefix, such as Bearer.
   
   

   

   
   
8. Click Close. The authorization token is passed to any API that you try out in the current session.
