Enabling the API

The Aggregate Manager API is an additional interface to a ProtoGENI site. It must be explicitly enabled after ProtoGENI is up and running.

1. The first step is to ​install ProtoGENI.
2. Next, edit /etc/rc.conf and add an additional flag to the apache_flags. Find the line that looks like this:

   apache_flags="-DSSL -DPGENI"
   

   Add the -DGENI_AM flag so it looks like this:

   apache_flags="-DSSL -DPGENI -DGENI_AM"
   

3. Restart apache:

   sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh restart 
   

4. Test it by running one of the AM test scripts

   cd protogeni/test
   am/getversion.py
   

   You should see the following result (or similar):

   {'geni_api': 1}
