NSX-T Data Center REST API

Create or update a firewall identity store

If a firewall identity store with the firewall-identity-store-id
is not already present, create a new firewall identity store. If it
already exists, replace the firewall identity store instance with
the new object.
This API is available when using VMware Cloud (AWS, Dell-EMC, Outpost, Hyperscalers) or VMware NSX.

Request Body:

IdentityFirewallAdStore+

IdentityFirewallAdStore (schema)

Name	Description	Type	Notes
_create_time	Timestamp of resource creation	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_create_user	ID of the user who created this resource	string	Readonly
_last_modified_time	Timestamp of last modification	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_last_modified_user	ID of the user who last modified this resource	string	Readonly
_links	References related to this resource The server will populate this field when returing the resource. Ignored on PUT and POST.	array of ResourceLink	Readonly
_protection	Indicates protection status of this resource Protection status is one of the following: PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is not allowed to modify it. NOT_PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is allowed to modify it REQUIRE_OVERRIDE - the client who retrieved the entity is a super user and can modify it, but only when providing the request header X-Allow-Overwrite=true. UNKNOWN - the _protection field could not be determined for this entity.	string	Readonly
_revision	Generation of this resource config The _revision property describes the current revision of the resource. To prevent clients from overwriting each other's changes, PUT operations must include the current _revision of the resource, which clients should obtain by issuing a GET operation. If the _revision provided in a PUT request is missing or stale, the operation will be rejected.	int
_schema	Schema for this resource	string	Readonly
_self	Link to this resource	SelfResourceLink	Readonly
_system_owned	Indicates system owned resource	boolean	Readonly
base_distinguished_name	IdentityFirewallStore base distinguished name Each active directory domain has a domain naming context (NC), which contains domain-specific data. The root of this naming context is represented by a domain's distinguished name (DN) and is typically referred to as the NC head.	string	Required
children	Subtree for this type within policy tree Subtree for this type within policy tree containing nested elements. Note that this type is applicable to be used in Hierarchical API only.	array of ChildPolicyConfigResource Children are not allowed for this type
description	Description of this resource	string	Maximum length: 1024 Sortable
display_name	Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI Defaults to ID if not set	string	Maximum length: 255 Sortable
event_log_servers	Event Log server of IdentityFirewallStore IdentityFirewallStore Event Log server's information including host, name, protocol and so on.	array of IdentityFirewallStoreEventLogServer	Readonly Maximum items: 50
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
ldap_servers	LDAP server of IdentityFirewallStore IdentityFirewallStore LDAP servers' information including host, name, port, protocol and so on.	array of IdentityFirewallStoreLdapServer	Required Maximum items: 50
marked_for_delete	Indicates whether the intent object is marked for deletion Intent objects are not directly deleted from the system when a delete is invoked on them. They are marked for deletion and only when all the realized entities for that intent object gets deleted, the intent object is deleted. Objects that are marked for deletion are not returned in GET call. One can use the search API to get these objects.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"
name	IdentityFirewallStore name IdentityFirewallStore name which best describes the Directory domain. It could be unique fqdn name or it could also be descriptive. There is no unique contraint for domain name among different domains.	string	Required
netbios_name	IdentityFirewallStore NETBIOS name NetBIOS names can contain all alphanumeric characters except for the certain disallowed characters. Names can contain a period, but names cannot start with a period. NetBIOS is similar to DNS in that it can serve as a directory service, but more limited as it has no provisions for a name hierarchy and names are limited to 15 characters. The netbios name is case insensitive and is stored in upper case regardless of input case.	string	Required
origin_site_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for knowing which site owns an object This is a UUID generated by the system for knowing which site owns an object. This is used in NSX+.	string	Readonly
overridden	Indicates whether this object is the overridden intent object Global intent objects cannot be modified by the user. However, certain global intent objects can be overridden locally by use of this property. In such cases, the overridden local values take precedence over the globally defined values for the properties.	boolean	Readonly Default: "False"
owner_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for the ownership of an object This is a UUID generated by the system for knowing who owns this object. This is used in NSX+.	string	Readonly
parent_path	Path of its parent Path of its parent	string	Readonly
path	Absolute path of this object Absolute path of this object	string	Readonly
realization_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system for realizing intent This is a UUID generated by the system for realizing the entity object. In most cases this should be same as 'unique_id' of the entity. However, in some cases this can be different because of entities have migrated their unique identifier to NSX Policy intent objects later in the timeline and did not use unique_id for realization. Realization id is helpful for users to debug data path to correlate the configuration with corresponding intent.	string	Readonly
relative_path	Relative path of this object Path relative from its parent	string	Readonly
remote_path	Path of the object on the remote end. This path is populated only in case of multi-site scenario. Currently it is supported only for LM objects. When LM is onboarded to multi-site platform like NAPP or GM, remote_path will be set to the globally unique path across multi-site topology . It is generated based on local site-name and uses /org tree namespace. Note: It is populated only for LM objects. Not supported on the GM.	string	Readonly
resource_type	Must be set to the value IdentityFirewallAdStore	string	Required Enum: IdentityFirewallAdStore
selective_sync_settings	SelectiveSync settings SelectiveSync settings toggle the SelectiveSync feature and selected OrgUnits. If this is not specified, SelectiveSync is disabled by default.	SelectiveSyncSettings
sync_settings	IdentityFirewallStore sync settings Each domain sync settings can be changed using this object. It is not required since there are default values used if there is no specification for this object.	DirectoryDomainSyncSettings
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
unique_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system This is a UUID generated by the GM/LM to uniquely identify entities in a federated environment. For entities that are stretched across multiple sites, the same ID will be used on all the stretched sites.	string	Readonly
