Using the Ambari API to enable Demo LDAP in Knox

[#1]

In the Ambari GUI, I can enable and disable the Demo LDAP under service actions on the Knox page.

I am wonder if it is enable to enable / disable the Demo LDAP using the Ambari API <ambri-ip>:8080/api/v1/clusters/:clustername/

If it is, what is the endpoint?

Changing category as this is more of an Ambari related question

Thanks,

Eric

Try this one to start Demo LDAP

curl -i -uadmin:admin -H 'X-Requested-By: ambari' -X POST -d '{"RequestInfo":{"context":"Start Demo LDAP","command":"STARTDEMOLDAP"},"Requests/resource_filters":[{"service_name":"KNOX","component_name":"KNOX_GATEWAY","hosts":"$knox_gateway_hostname"}]}' http://$ambari_server:8080/api/v1/clusters/$cluster_name/requests

To stop Demo LDAP

curl -i -uadmin:admin -H 'X-Requested-By: ambari' -X POST -d '{"RequestInfo":{"context":"Stop Demo LDAP","command":"STOPDEMOLDAP"},"Requests/resource_filters":[{"service_name":"KNOX","component_name":"KNOX_GATEWAY","hosts":"$knox_gateway_hostname"}]}' http://$ambari_server:8080/api/v1/clusters/$cluster_name/requests
