Integration with Instant The XML API interface allows you to send specific XML commands to a W-IAP from an external server. These XML commands can be used to customize W-IAP client entries. You can use the XML API interface to add, delete, authenticate, query, or blacklist a user or a client. The user authentication is supported only for users authenticated by captive portal authentication and not for the dot1x-authentication users. The user add operation performed by the XML API interface is only used to modify the role of an existing user and not to create a new user. You can now use HTTP or HTTPS to post commands to W-IAP. The communication process using the XML API Interface is as follows: l An API command is issued in XML format from the server to the Virtual Controller. l The Virtual Controller processes the XML request and identifies where the client is and sends the command to the correct slave W-IAP. l Once the operation is completed, Virtual Controller sends the XML response to the XML server. l Users can use the response and take appropriate action to suit their requirements. The response from the Virtual Controller is returned using the predefined formats. Configuring a W-IAP for XML API integration You can configure a W-IAP for XML API integration using the Instant UI or CLI. W-IAP support the configuration of up to 4 XML API server entries.
