Hi,
Is there a way using the Rest API to refresh the group mapping cache?
We're using AD groups where possible to control access in policies, and the system refreshes every hour but sometimes this is too long.
I have the CLI command to do this but would like to set this up with the API if possible.
Thanks,
Eugeneoup

Hi, Debug commands are not among the <op> commands that are exposed via the API. If you search for PAN-Perl there is an expect based CLI tool for remotely executing CLI commands on the firewall that will work.

There are lots of debug commands that can impact the performance of the device significantly so they limit what is exposed, the correct handling of this is to map it to a corresponding <op> command that makes sense like request user-id refresh (dp-uid-gid | group-mapping | user-id). I think that is an excellent Feature Request! I can bring it up to the User-ID Product Manager if you would like.

I did try something similar in the API browser to see what works but it didn't come back with anything useful
Thanks anyways

Yes, can you please put that in as a Feature Request. Let me know if I should also bring it to the attention of my local PAN guys.
Thanks
