Updating the Image Sharing Status

Scenario

The status of a shared image can be updated after the tenant accepts or rejects the image.

Note

The token obtained from IAM is valid for only 24 hours. If you want to use a token for authentication, you can cache it to avoid frequently calling the IAM API.

Involved APIs

If you use a token for authentication, you must obtain the token and add X-Auth-Token to the request header of the IMS API when making an API call.

  • IAM API used to obtain the token

    URI format: POST https://IAM endpoint/v3/auth/tokens

  • IMS API used to update the image sharing status (Native OpenStack API)

    URI format: PUT https://IMS endpoint/v2/images/Image ID/members/Member ID

Procedure

  1. Obtain the token.

  2. Send PUT https://IMS endpoint/v2/images/Image ID/members/Member ID. Member ID indicates the project ID of the image recipient.

  3. Add X-Auth-Token to the request header.

  4. Specify the following parameters in the request body:

    {
        "status": "accepted"  //Value: accepted or rejected
    }
    
  5. Check the response parameters.

    {
        "status": "accepted",  //Sharing status (value: accepted or rejected)
        "created_at": "2016-09-01T02:05:14Z",  //Time when the image is shared
        "updated_at": "2016-09-01T02:37:11Z",  //Time when the image status is updated
        "image_id": "d164b5df-1bc3-4c3f-893e-3e471fd16e64",  //Image ID
        "member_id": "edc89b490d7d4392898e19b2deb34797"  //Member ID (that is, project ID of the image recipient)
        "schema": "/v2/schemas/member"  //Image sharing schema
    }
