Getting started - Login

This section describes how to get started with the Enterprise Manager Python SDK. To help you better understand how to implement the available methods, a code sample and a readme file that describes the code are located in the <Enterprise Manager_Installation_Folder>/clients/python folder.

Information noteSAML login using the Enterprise Manager API is currently not supported.
  1. Import the Qlik Enterprise Manager-Client by adding the following code:

    from aem_client import *

  2. Create an aem_client object using the following constructors: (self, b64_username_password, machine_name, port=443, url="https://{0}/attunityenterprisemanager", verify_certificate=True,authentication_method=AuthenticationMethod.ACTIVE_DIRECTORY):

    • b64_username_password

      You need to create a base64 encoding of “domain\\user:password” as follows:
      • domain_username = '{0}\\{1}'.format(domain, username)
      • username_password_str = str.encode('{0}:{1}'.format(domain_username, password))
      • b64_username_password = b64.b64encode(username_password_ str).decode('ascii')

    • machine_name - The machine on which Qlik Enterprise Manager is installed.

    • port – The Qlik Enterprise Manager server port (usually 443).

    • url – The URL to the Qlik Enterprise Manager server. If not set then https://{0}/attunityenterprisemanager is used where {0} is the machine name.

    • verify_certificate – When verify_certificate is set to true, there must be a valid certificate in the Qlik Enterprise Manager machine. When set to false, Qlik Enterprise Manager client will not validate the server certificate. The default is true.

      Example:

      aem_client = AemClient(b64_username_password, machine_name, verify_certificate=False)

    • authentication_method – The authentication method used by the Enterprise Manager server. Specify AuthenticationMethod.ACTIVE_DIRECTORY

    The user can now use the client methods to get/set data from Qlik Enterprise Manager using the public APIs. For example:

    • aem_client. get_server_list()
    • aem_client. get_server_list()
    • aem_client. export_task(server_name, task_name)
