Tenant Logon Session

Service providers can allow tenants to log on to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager REST API and perform operations with resources available to a specific tenant. To create a new logon session for the tenant, you need to provide tenant credentials in the body of the POST HTTP request to the URL of the /sessionMngr/ resource.

The client can create logon sessions for the tenants of the following types:

Standalone tenant
vCloud tenant

For details on creating a new logon session, see Perform Logon.

Standalone Cloud Tenant Logon Session Creation

Credentials for the standalone tenant account must be provided in the TenantCredentials element.

The request body must contain the following elements:

Element	Type	Description	Modifiable	Min/Max Occurrence
Username	String	User name of the tenant account.	Yes	1/1
Password	String	Password for the tenant account.	Yes	1/1

For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LoginSpec xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<TenantCredentials>
<Username>ABC Company</Username>
<Password>P@ssw0rd</Password>
</TenantCredentials>
</LoginSpec>

In the response, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager will return a representation of the /sessionMngr/ resource with a link to the Cloud Connect service resource. For example:

<LogonSession xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" Type="LogonSession" Href="https://localhost:9398/api/logonSessions/362da803-804d-4c32-ad35-0972e432460b">
<Links>
<Link Rel="Up" Type="EnterpriseManager" Href="https://localhost:9398/api/" />
<Link Rel="Down" Type="CloudConnectService" Href="https://localhost:9398/api/cloud" />
<Link Rel="Delete" Type="LogonSession" Href="https://localhost:9398/api/logonSessions/362da803-804d-4c32-ad35-0972e432460b" />
