I'm getting the following error while parsing the token:
any ideas as to what this might be? (i've checked the output by making the task output the full response and it's definitely working, it has an "imdata" list and the token is there...)
Do you get an Error with just a $ var?
Typically I get those sort of errors when I don't have my structure properly defined:
i cant copy it (it shows in the input/output tab of the service request), but here's a screenshot:
'$.imdata[0].aaaLogin.attributes.token' should work, however i'm getting the aforementioned java error. my colleague has since gotten it to work with an xml call instead of json, however we prefer working with json, so i'd still appreciate a fix/workaround...
screen shot did not post
my example did use JSON
We are on APIC version 4.01h
Sounds like something changed in the APIC response then.
I would open up a TAC case see what they come up with.
