Sample Code
This section lists a sample code that will help you get started in using the ArubaOS XML API interface. These codes
have been tested in a controlled environment. We recommend that you test this code in a non-production
environment before using it for actual user management tasks.
Using XML API in C Language
The example script is written in the
C
language. The example script (auth.c) sends an authentication request from
your authentication server to the controller.
NOTE: This is an example code and is provided for illustration purposes. If you plan to use this code in your environment, ensure that
the code meets your IT guidelines. Also create an error free executable to successfully execute the script.
