Validating a Script

To validate a script, perform an HTTP POST using the /json{/realm}/scripts endpoint, with an _action parameter set to validate. Include a JSON representation of the script and the script language, JAVASCRIPT or GROOVY, in the POST data.

The value for script must be in UTF-8 format and then encoded into Base64.

The iPlanetDirectoryPro header is required and should contain the SSO token of an administrative user, such as amAdmin, who has access to perform the operation.

$ curl \
--request POST \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5..." \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.1" \
--data '{
    "script": "dmFyIGEgPSAxMjM7dmFyIGIgPSA0NTY7Cg==",
    "language": "JAVASCRIPT"
}' \
https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/realms/myrealm/scripts/?_action=validate
{
    "success": true
}

If the script is valid the JSON response contains a success key with a value of true.

If the script is invalid the JSON response contains a success key with a value of false, and an indication of the problem and where it occurs, as shown below:

$ curl \
--request POST \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5..." \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.1" \
--data '{
    "script": "dmFyIGEgPSAxMjM7dmFyIGIgPSA0NTY7ID1WQUxJREFUSU9OIFNIT1VMRCBGQUlMPQo=",
    "language": "JAVASCRIPT"
}' \
https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/json/realms/root/realms/myrealm/scripts/?_action=validate
{
    "success": false,
    "errors": [
        {
            "line": 1,
            "column": 27,
            "message": "syntax error"
        }
    ]
}
