Using the modules commands

You can use the modules commands to list, enable, disable and delete the modules on your Developer Portal service.

  1. Log in as Provider org:
    apic login --server management_server --realm provider/identity_provider --username provider_username --password provider_password
    You can determine which identity provider to use in the --realm parameter by entering the following command to see a list of all available identity providers (you do not need to be logged in to use this command):
    apic identity-providers:list --scope provider --server platform_api_host_name --fields title,realm
    For example,
    apic identity-providers:list --scope provider --server platform_api_host_name --fields title,realm 
    total_results: 2
    results:
      - title: API Manager User Registry
        realm: provider/default-idp-2
      - title: Corporate LDAP user registry
        realm: provider/corporate-ldap
    The title value should enable you to determine which identity provider to use; you can then copy the corresponding --realm parameter directly from the displayed realm value. For any identity providers that were created by your administrator after API Connect was installed, the names will have been determined at creation time. The default API Manager Local User Registry for login as a member of a provider organization is default-idp-2.

    For full details of the apic login command, see Logging in to a management server.

    For a summary of the general-purpose commands and their use, see Developer Portal CLI commands.

  2. List the modules from a packagename.
    For example,
    apic --mode portaladmin modules:list --org orgid/name --server management_server --catalog name/id --package packagename1,packagename2
  3. Enable the modulename module. You can upload this module by using the custom-module:create-import command. For more information, see Using the custom-module commands.
    For example,
    apic --mode portaladmin modules:enable --org orgid/name --server management_server --catalog name/id --modules modulename
    • management_server is the endpoint URL of the management server (required).
    • catalogid/name is the ID or name of the catalog that the site belongs to (required).
    • orgid/name is the ID or name of the provider organization that the catalog belongs to (required).
    • --package enables you to filter by project packages. You can use multiple comma separated values.
    • --status enables you to filter by extension status. Can be _ enabled, disabled and/or 'not installed'. You can use multiple comma separated values.
    • --custom enables you to filter your results to only the modules that you have installed on your Developer Portal site.
  4. Disable the modulename module. If you disable a module, you must also disable all its dependencies.
    For example,
    apic --mode portaladmin modules:disable --org orgid/name --server management_server --catalog name/id --modules modulename,module_lib
  5. Delete the modulename module. The module and all its dependencies must be disabled before you can delete them.
    For example,
    apic --mode portaladmin modules:delete --org orgid/name --server management_server --catalog name/id --modules modulename

Note that if you want to manage the Forum module, you can use the forums commands. For more information, see Using the forums commands.
