Feature request: New API endpoint for Active/Passive monitoring

[marek.cisar]

What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?

Customer would appreciate new API endpoint to be created that a load balancer can use for health checks to identify the active NPS server in an Active-Passive HA setup and direct traffic accordingly.

Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.

Customer is looking for suitable API call/URL endpoint that can be used in Loadbalancer configuration. NPS servers are deployed in Active-Passive HA mode and are accessible via Loadbalancer. Customer wants to configure regular healthchecks to monitor both nodes by Loadbalancer to receive an information, which node is running as active and automatically loadbalance the network traffic accordingly.

How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?

Just manual configuration of the loadbalancer in case of failover from active node to passive one.

Hi Marek,

Sorry for the very slow response.

I would just create a user account with 2Fa turned on in the GUI. Then you can login with

curl --location '<<url>>/signinBody' \

--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

--header 'Cookie: Identity.TwoFactorUserId=<<cookie>>'\

--data '{

    "login": "<<domain\\user>>",

    "password": "<<password>>"

}'

and you get a 200 response. It also returns a portion token that you would use with 2Fa if you were actually tryin to login:

curl --location '<<url>>/signin2fa' \

--header 'Accept: "/"' \

--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

--header 'Authorization: <<partial token>>' \

--data '<<6-digits>>'

but since all you want is the 200 response, this would not be needed.

Also, the user account would take a license, but we have the PRIVSEC-LAU SKU that is $90 and you could ask for a discount for it.
