How to use the IBM Security Access Manager RESTful Web Services to import a ZIP file to the Web Proxy management root pages

Answer

Use the following curl command to import the ZIP file to update the management pages; it is assumed here that a file (for example called newpages_root.zip) has already been exported from the Web Reverse Proxy and had its contents modified appropriately.

curl -k --user admin:<Password> -H Accept:application/json -i -X POST --form file=@newpages_root.zip https://<Appliance_hostname>/wga/reverseproxy/<Reverse_proxy_instance>/management_root

Where:
<Password> is the appliance administrator password.
<Appliance_hostname> is the management address of the appliance.
<Reverse_proxy_instance> is the name of the Reverse Proxy Instance.

Once this command successfully completes, then check the new pending changes with the command:

curl -k --user admin:<Password> -H "Accept:application/json" -X GET https://<Appliance_hostname>/isam/pending_changes

This will return something similar to the following for this specific change:

{"changes":[{"policyName":"webseal_web_document_root","displayKey":"webseal_web_document_root","dateString":"2014/02/07 06:32:00","owner":"admin","ui_page":"../wga/reverseproxy"}]}

To deploy the change, run this command:

curl -k --user admin:<Password> -H Accept:application/json -X GET https://<Appliance_hostname>/isam/pending_changes/deploy

To restart the Proxy instance after the changes are deployed run the command:

curl -k --user admin:<Password> -i -H Accept:application/json -X PUT -d {"operation":"restart"} https://<Appliance_hostname>/wga/reverseproxy/<Reverse_Proxy_Instance>
