The first example calls the following sample newTenant.json file.
{
"@type" : "Tenant",
"id" : "development",
"urlName" : "development",
"name" : "DevelopmentTenant",
"description" : "Tenant for all developers",
"contactEmail" : "admin@mycompany.com",
"defaultTenant" : false
}
Example 1: Use the following example to call the above newTenant.json file, which contains parameters
for the tenant request.
curl --insecure -H "Content-Type: application/json"
-H "Authorization: Bearer $token"
https://$host/identity/api/tenants/development --data @C:\Temp\newTenant.json
Example 2: Use the following example to specify parameters for the tenant request by using inline text.
curl --insecure -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json"
-H "Authorization: Bearer $token"
--data '{"@type":"Tenant","id":"development","urlName":"development","name":
"DevelopmentTenant","description":"Tenant for all developers","contactEmail":
"admin@mycompany.com","defaultTenant":false}'

vRealize Automation tenant, such as the default tenant vsphere.local.
