OK. I’m pretty puzzled by node/JavaScript behavior while writing test scripts for WAPI Infoblox access. So I got several queries working using Postman which always seems to be a good place to start. The following is the Node and Axios example I exported from Postman. I have added the dependency Axios module.
import axios from 'axios';
var data = JSON.stringify({
"name": “mytest-shared”,
"network_view": “default,
"networks": [
{
"_ref": "network/ZG5zLm5…iRtDrGt:10.0.2.128/27/default”
},
{
"_ref": "network/iRtDrGt…iRtDrGt:10.0.2.160/27/default”
}
]
});
var config = {
method: 'post',
maxBodyLength: Infinity,
url: 'https://gridm.privatecompany.com/wapi/v2.11/sharednetwork',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Basic randomjunk0OQ==',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
data : data
};
axios(config)
.then(function (response) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
I was getting the error ”self signed cert in chain”. So I set my host name to an absolutely confirmed GM with hostname with a good certificate. It produces no errors in Chrome or Edge when I go to https://gridm.privatecompany.com/ui/ and view the certificate from the lock icon in the browser.
(venv-python) userid@macbook nodejs %
Proxy-related environment variables set.
Proxy successfully connected.
(proxy on)
(venv-python) userid@macbook nodejs % node POST-create-sharednetwork.js
AxiosError: self-signed certificate in certificate chain
at AxiosError.from (/Users/vaeq6f/Documents/repos/infoblox-wapi/nodejs/node_modules/axios/dist/node/axios.cjs:825:14)
... blah blah
But still as you can see I am receiving the warning about "self-signed certificate blah blah blah”. I’m pretty puzzled as to why this would still be being produced. I also have tried it with disabling our company proxy settings. Should I add the proxy settings in the axios config?
Running out of ideas since this seems to be straightforward. It works so easily from Postman, Python or curl.
