This example is based on code in the external_psc_sso_workflow.py sample file.

This example uses the following global variables.

■

my_vapi_hostname

■

my_stub_config

■

saml_token

The example assumes that you previously obtained a vSphere Automation API URL from the Lookup Service, and a SAML token from the vCenter Single Sign-On Service.

Note

For a complete and up-to-date version of the sample code, see the vSphere Automation SDK Python samples at GitHub.
