Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
aep
-
The name of the Attachable Access Entity Profile.

The X.509 certificate name attached to the APIC AAA user used for signature-based authentication.
It defaults to the private_key basename, without extension.

aliases: cert_name
domain
-
Name of the physical or virtual domain being associated with the AEP.

aliases: domain_name, domain_profile
domain_type
-

aliases: type
host

info adds informational output, incl. previous, proposed and sent dicts
debug adds debugging output, incl. filter_string, method, response, status and url information
password
- / required
The password to use for authentication.
This option is mutual exclusive with private_key. If private_key is provided too, it will be used instead.
port
-
