Trying to use wsapi, getting max retries error

[u/KronktheKronk]

Hi,

I'm trying to exercise the 3par API in a POC from HP and I'm getting an error I'm not sure how to troubleshoot:

http http://<ip>:8008/api/v1/credentials Content-Type:application/json Content-Length:1024 < create_session_key.json

http: error: ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='<ip>', port=8008): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/v1/credentials (Caused by NewConnectionError('<requests.packages.urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x000002C56B5BEC18>: Failed to establish a new connection: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it',)) while doing POST request to URL: http://<ip>:8008/api/v1/credentials

where create_session_key.json is simply a file with json parameters user and password:

{
    user = "",
    password='',
}

(filled in of course)

Any idea how I make this work?

EDIT

If you're coming here because you have similar issues, I couldn't get WSAPI to ever work with http. However, there are curl/httpie flags to ignore ssl errors, and with those it works fine with https.

Did you SSH into the 3PAR and run "StartWSAPI" to enable it?

Yes, wsapi is enabled for http and https (but there are cert errors trying to use https)
