Python Example of
Creating a
vSphere
Automation API Session with a SAML Token
vSphere
Automation
API Session with a SAML TokenThis example is
based on code in the
external_psc_sso_workflow.py
sample file.
This example uses the steps that are
described in the
Create a vSphere Automation Session with a SAML Token
This example uses the
following global variables.
- my_vapi_hostname
- my_stub_config
- saml_token
The example assumes that you
previously obtained a
vSphere
Automation
API URL from the Lookup Service, and a SAML token from
the vCenter Single Sign-On Service.
For a complete and
up-to-date version of the sample code, see the
vSphere Automation SDK Python
samples at GitHub.
