When using the Foglight command line interface "fglcmd" in Foglight 7.3 error "Unable to connect to remote server" is displayed when using HTTPS with username/password and "status code: 400" when enabling debug output.

fglcmd.sh -srv foglight.yourdomain.com -port 8443 -ssl -usr foglight -pwd -cmd agent:list -debug

The CA certificates have been imported to the Java TrustStore and happens with both the fglcmd tool under $FMS_HOME/bin locally and the one included in $FMS_HOME/tools/fglcmd.zip from a remote machine. 

The tool works when using non secure connections (HTTP).

WORKAROUND

Use an authentication token instead of username/password; for example:

fglcmd -srv <server name> -port <port> -ssl -authtoken <token> -cmd <command>

Note: The authentication token for a user can be configured by using the "Set Auth Token" option from the "Users Management" dashboard; for additional information refer to the "Users and Security" section of the Foglight Administration and Configuration Guide.

STATUS

This issues has been identified as defect Id. FOG-10170 and waiting for a fix in a future release of Foglight.
