Update

Examples in this documentation depend on features activated in the ds-evaluation setup profile. For details, refer to Learn about the evaluation setup profile.

The code samples demonstrate how to contact the server over HTTPS using the deployment CA certificate. Before trying the samples, generate the CA certificate in PEM format from the server deployment ID and password:

$ dskeymgr \
 export-ca-cert \
 --deploymentId $DEPLOYMENT_ID \
 --deploymentIdPassword password \
 --outputFile ca-cert.pem

Update a resource

Use HTTP PUT to replace any and all writable fields in a resource.

The effect is the same as a patch replace operation.

The following example updates Sam Carter’s telephone number regardless of the revision:

Curl
JavaScript
Python
Ruby

$ curl \
 --request PUT \
 --cacert ca-cert.pem \
 --user dc=com/dc=example/ou=People/uid=kvaughan:bribery \
 --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 --data '{"telephoneNumber": "+1 408 555 1212"}' \
 'https://localhost:8443/hdap/dc=com/dc=example/ou=People/uid=scarter?_fields=telephoneNumber&_prettyPrint=true'
{
  "_id" : "dc=com/dc=example/ou=People/uid=scarter",
  "telephoneNumber" : [ "+1 408 555 1212" ]
}

(async () => {
    const { authenticate, doRequest, getOptions } = require('./utils')
    const options = getOptions({
        path: '/hdap/dc=com/dc=example/ou=People/uid=scarter?_fields=telephoneNumber',
        method: 'PUT',
        body: { "telephoneNumber": "+1 408 555 1212" }
    })
    const jwt = await authenticate(options)
    options.headers['Authorization'] = 'Bearer ' + jwt
    const response = await doRequest('HDAP: update telephone number', options)
    console.log(response)
})().catch(error => { console.error(error) })

Update a specific revision

To update a resource only if the resource matches a particular version, use an If-Match: <revision> header:

Curl
JavaScript
Python
Ruby

$ export JWT=$(echo $(curl \
 --request POST \
 --cacert ca-cert.pem \
 --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 --data '{ "password": "bribery" }' \
 --silent \
 'https://localhost:8443/hdap/dc=com/dc=example/ou=People/uid=kvaughan?_action=authenticate') | jq -r .access_token)

$ export REVISION=$(cut -d \" -f 8 <(curl \
 --get \
 --cacert ca-cert.pem \
 --header "Authorization: Bearer $JWT" \
 --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 --data '_fields=_rev' \
 --silent \
'https://localhost:8443/hdap/dc=com/dc=example/ou=People/uid=scarter'))

$ curl \
 --request PUT \
 --cacert ca-cert.pem \
 --header "Authorization: Bearer $JWT" \

    })
    const jwt = await authenticate(options)
    options.headers['Authorization'] = 'Bearer ' + jwt
    let response = await doRequest('HDAP: read scarter _rev', options)
    console.log(response)
    options.headers['If-Match'] = JSON.parse(response.data)._rev
    options.method = 'PUT'
    response = await doRequest('HDAP: update specific revision', options)
    console.log(response)
