The command also tests that vRealize Automation can connect to the identity store successfully. If the
command finishes successfully,vRealize Automation succeeded in connecting to the identity store.
curl --insecure -H "Content-Type: application/json"
-H "Authorization: Bearer $token”
https://$host/identity/api/tenants/development/directories/example.mycompany.com
--data @C:\Temp\ldap.json.txt
