IP-Role Mapper Service Usage

The IP-Role mapper is a REST based web-service which provides three methods; getRanges, getRoles and status.

getRanges

This method returns a new-line separated list of IP ranges associated with one or more roles. If any of the IP ranges, associated with the roles, overlap each other then they will be merged into a single range.

The method is invoked by an URL of the form:

http://<context root>/iprolemapper/getRanges&role=<some role>&role=<another role>....&role=<yet another role>

Example:

Typing:

http://alhena:7980/iprolemapping/getRanges?role=inhouse&role=doghouse&role=henhouse

in a web browser makes the current test system return:

172.18.0.0-172.18.255.255
130.255.26.35
127.0.0.1
172.16.7.0-172.16.7.255
130.225.24.0-130.225.25.255
130.225.26.33

even though the roles doghouse and henhouse do not exist in the test configuration.
