Using Veritas System Recovery RESTful Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)

Veritas System Recovery 23 continues to support a set of functions that can be hosted as RESTful APIs. The API Client uses the HTTP(S) protocol to make an API request to the Veritas System Recovery Server. The server processes the request and sends a response to the client with an appropriate HTTP status code indicating success or failure.

The REST API calls from a remote computer only work with a valid CA Authorized certificate or a Self-Signed Certificate. Veritas System Recovery 23 now provides the enhanced InstallWebAPI.exe utility. Which automatically creates and binds a Self-Signed Certificate while installing Veritas System Recovery.

In scenarios, as mentioned in below cases:

Case 1: To use a valid CA Authorized certificate or a Self-Signed Certificate of your choice.

Case 2: To use Veritas System Recovery RESTful Application Programming Interfaces on Windows Operating Systems with PowerShell version lesser than 3.0, you have to create a Self-signed certificate or use a valid CA Authorized certificate and bind the certificate using InstallWebAPI Utility.

The following steps should be followed:

The InstallWebAPI Utility is located at the following path:
