Submodules¶
com.vmware.vapi.metadata.authentication_client module¶
The com.vmware.vapi.metadata.authentication_client
module provides classes
that expose authentication information for operation elements across all the
service elements.
To calculate the effective authentication information for an operation element, you should first see if there is an authentication scheme specified for the operation element. If it is not specified, then authentication scheme for the service element that contains this operation element is used. If it is not specified for the service element as well, then the authentication scheme for the package element that contains this service element is used.
-
class
com.vmware.vapi.metadata.authentication_client.
AuthenticationInfo
(scheme_type=None, session_manager=None, scheme=None)¶ Bases:
vmware.vapi.bindings.struct.VapiStruct
The
AuthenticationInfo
class describes the authentication information. Authentication information could be specified for a package element, service elenent or an operation element.Using the authentication scheme information, a client invoking an API call from any class can figure out what kind of credentials are needed for that API call.
Tip
The arguments are used to initialize data attributes with the same names.
- Parameters
scheme_type (
AuthenticationInfo.SchemeType
) – The type of the authentication scheme.session_manager (
str
) – In a session aware authentication scheme, a session manager is required that supportscreate
,delete
andkeepAlive
methods. The fully qualified class name of the session manager is provided inAuthenticationInfo.session_manager
attribute. This class is responsible for handling sessions. This attribute is optional and it is only relevant when the value ofschemeType
isAuthenticationInfo.SchemeType.SESSION_AWARE
.scheme (
str
) –String identifier of the authentication scheme.
Following are the supported authentication schemes by the infrastructure:
The identifier
com.vmware.vapi.std.security.saml_hok_token
for SAML holder of key token based authentication mechanism.The identifier
com.vmware.vapi.std.security.bearer_token
for SAML bearer token based authentication mechanism.The identifier
com.vmware.vapi.std.security.session_id
for session based authentication mechanism.The identifier
com.vmware.vapi.std.security.user_pass
for username and password based authentication mechanism.
-
class
SchemeType
(string)¶ Bases:
vmware.vapi.bindings.enum.Enum
The
AuthenticationInfo.SchemeType
class provides class attributes for the set of valid authentication scheme types.Note
This class represents an enumerated type in the interface language definition. The class contains class attributes which represent the values in the current version of the enumerated type. Newer versions of the enumerated type may contain new values. To use new values of the enumerated type in communication with a server that supports the newer version of the API, you instantiate this class. See enumerated type description page.
- Parameters
string (
str
) – String value for theSchemeType
instance.
-
SESSIONLESS
= SchemeType(string='SESSIONLESS')¶ Indicates that the scheme is a session less authentication scheme, the user is authenticated on every method. There is no explicit session establishment.
-
SESSION_AWARE
= SchemeType(string='SESSION_AWARE')¶ Indicates that the scheme is a session aware authentication scheme. It requires an explicit login before executing a method and logout when a session terminates. A class might choose to have a session aware scheme if it wants to associate some state corresponding to the user until the user logs out or if it wants to mitigate the cost of authenticating the user on every method.

com.vmware.vapi.metadata.metamodel_client module¶
The com.vmware.vapi.metadata.metamodel_client
module provides classes that
expose all the information present in the interface definition language (IDL)
specification.
Metamodel metadata is organized into an hierarchy of elements. The main elements are:
Enumeration: An enumeration element that has a list of enumeration value elements.
Constant: A constant element has a name and a value.
Structure: A structure element can have field elements, constant elements and enumeration elements.
Operation: An operation has a list of parameter elements, result element and error elements.
Service: A service is a collection of operation elements, structure elements, enumerated elements and constant elements.
Package: A package is a collection of service elements, structure elements and enumeration elements.
Component: A component is a collection of package elements.
The com.vmware.vapi.metadata.metamodel_client
module has classes that
enables two styles of client applications:
A client can retrieve the exact pieces of information it requires using the various granularities the API supports (that is
Component
,Package
,Service
,Structure
,Enumeration
andcom.vmware.vapi.metadata.metamodel.service_client.Operation
). In this case, it doesn’t cache any information locally and always invokes methods to get the metamodel information it requires.A client can retrieve all the metamodel information in fewer method invocations using the
Component
class and cache the output locally. It can then poll on the fingerprint information exposed by theComponent
class to monitor changes in API definition.
-
class

Component
(config)¶ Bases:
vmware.vapi.bindings.stub.VapiInterface

fingerprint
(component_id)¶ Retrieves the fingerprint computed from the metamodel metadata of the component element corresponding to
component_id
.The fingerprint provides clients an efficient way to check if the metadata for a particular component element has been modified on the server. The client can do this by comparing the result of this operation with the fingerprint returned in the result of

Newer versions of the enumerated type may contain new values. To use new values of the enumerated type in communication with a server that supports the newer version of the API, you instantiate this class. See enumerated type description page.
- Parameters
