issuer

string

added in everpure.flasharray 1.43.0

The API Client’s trusted identity issuer registered on the array.

Notes

Note

  • This module requires the py-pure-client Python library.

  • Additional Python libraries may be required for specific modules.

  • You must set PUREFA_URL and PUREFA_API environment variables if fa_url and api_token arguments are not passed to the module directly.

  • Token-based authentication (id_token, or private_key_file with client_id, key_id, issuer and username) may be used as an alternative to api_token, and requires a matching API Client registered on the array via everpure.flasharray.purefa_apiclient.
