Creating Users using Rest API

Alabasta

Hi all,

we have some difficulties using rest API "OpenText Directory Services 16" for users creation.
Using this documentation "https://developer.opentext.com/webaccess/#url=%2Fawd%2Fresources%2Fapis%2Fotds-16%23!%2Fusers&tab=501" we are trying to invoke GET operation to the addresss: "http://xxxx.domain.com/users" but we don't have positive results.
At same time we don't have any problems using these api (Content Server REST API for Content Server 16.2) "https://developer.opentext.com/webaccess/#url=%2Fawd%2Fresources%2Fapis%2Fcs-rest-api-for-cs-16-s&tab=501" for ex. "http://xxxx.domain.com/api/v2/nicknames/{nickname}/nodes"

Where we are wrong?

Thank you

When I started using OTDS REST API I was confused as well but here is a thread describing the OTDS thing

One thing is your organization OTDS has the same API that the documentation has it gets using to
The one with Nodes etc are actually actions against Content Server the actual code runs in Oscript
For all practical aspects, the rest in OTDS is probably java or some language as OTDS is coming from Oracle.

OTDS is a very light AD(LDAP)  implementation of OT . Once you create a user in OTDS then it has to be created in Content Server if it is the resource as OTDS is OT's flagship "man in the middle" application.

If you add users and groups using Content Server API's they will land in the OTDS non synchronized partition.

the OTDS forum is extremely helpful...
