API Authentication with Terraform

[arj22]

Hi ,

Terraform Version

v0.9.11

Provider version

tf-v0.9.3-ibm-provider-v0.2.1

Affected Resource(s)

• ibm_infra_vlan

I exported the SL_USERNAME, SL_API_KEY variables and set 'skip_service_configuration=bluemix'

terraform import ibmcloud_infra_vlan.999 999

Expected Behavior

Terraform should have imported the state

Actual Behavior

import ibmcloud_infra_vlan.999 result: 999: ibmcloud_infra_vlan.999: Error communicating with the API: SoftLayer_Exception_Public: Access Denied. (HTTP 401)

Thanks,

Hi @AnudeepReddyJ21,
I am not able to reproduce the problem. Could you please re-check once if you passed the right credentials?
Thanks

Hi @ashishth09

The description of SL_USERNAME is vague. I have tried using API Username and Primary username for the account. Both of them don't seem to work. I created another user, which I guess worked. UI shows username as email id but the actual username is something else. Things are really inconsistent on the UI.

Now I have another error. I don't see anything as VLAN ID on the UI and I cannot import using VLAN number. Where do I find the VLAN ID?

import ibmcloud_infra_vlan.999 result: 999: import ibmcloud_infra_vlan.999 (id: 999): Terraform detected a resource with this ID doesn't
exist. Please verify the ID is correct. You cannot import non-existent
resources using Terraform import

Thanks,
Anudeep

Hi @AnudeepReddyJ21 ,

When you click on any vlan on the UI , it will take to your another page where URL changes to
https://control.softlayer.com/network/vlans/<vlan-id> in the browser URL. Please use that as the id.

Thanks

Thank you @ashishth09

I didn't notice that. I wish that was in web page too :)
