HP VAN SDN Controller Controller License Registration and Activation Guide

1. If your previous cURL session has closed or timed out, re–enter the authentication command

to obtain a new token:

curl -sk -H 'Content-Type:application/json'-d

'{"login":{"user":"MyUser","password":"MyPassword","domain":"sdn"}}'

https://MyControllerIP:8443/sdn/v2.0/auth

• Replace MyUser and MyPassword with your actual values.

• Replace MyControllerIP with your controller IP address.

NOTE: If you are installing a High Availability license, enter the IP address

of the lead controller.
