Impersonating another user in SoftLayer

Question

We have an agent account in SoftLayer through which multiple Customer accounts have been created. Im trying to do some operations on the Customer account but the API isnt allowi

Answer 1

the method that you need is this one:

http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Brand/getToken

using the python client you will have something like this:

    token = client['SoftLayer_Brand'].getToken(userID, id=brandID)

where userID is the id of the user you want to get the token and the brandId is the brand id of your account

The you need to use a SOAP request like this:

  
    
      $USERID
      $TOKEN
    
    
      $USERID
    
  
  
    
  

The soap above is calling the method http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_User_Customer/addApiAuthenticationKey for the user that you got the token in the previous request.

Not forget replace the values $USERID and $TOKEN in the SOAP
