Those three aren't enumerated anywhere public yet: the schema only says string. The fastest way to get the real values is to have the UI write them for you. Create a test visitor under Central NAC > Configuration > Visitors once for each password and notification option the form gives you, then GET that visitor back through the same API and read what's stored in each field.

My read is that vestaPasswordMethod is the random password generator and vestaPasswordParameter is its argument (length or word count). changeNotification should tie to the SMS and email password notices Central NAC sends on account creation or password reset, covered in the New Central Custom SMS and Email page: https://arubanetworking.hpe.com/techdocs/CNX-CNXOP-NewHelp/HPE%20Aruba%20Networking%20Central/GUID-DEDE8660-4DFB-41BF-9C50-2985852FE401.html

The vesta prefix comes from ClearPass Guest, but I wouldn't hardcode ClearPass strings until you see them come back. It's also worth a case asking HPE to put the enums in the spec.

Hi Dustin, thank you for your prompt response.

After using the browser's developer tools to inspect the data submitted by the user interface, I was able to identify all parameters except for the three I am still missing. I am already discussing this with my system integrator and will share any additional information here as soon as it becomes available.

In the meantime, if anyone can help clarify these parameters, I would greatly appreciate your input.

This needs to be in the documentation indeed. I will request the API team to update the documentation.

Values you can use

vestaPasswordMethod

• GENERATE_ALPHANUMERIC (this will generate a password with random characters 
  

      "authSource": "xxx",    "changeNotification": "EMAIL",    "companyName": "test",    "displayName": "test",    "email": "test@hpe.com",    "enable": true,    "name": "test",    "vestaPasswordMethod": "GENERATE_ALPHANUMERIC",    "vestaPasswordParameter": ""

• GENERATE_WORDS (this will generate random passphrase)
  

      "authSource": "xxx",    "changeNotification": "EMAIL",    "companyName": "test",    "displayName": "test",    "email": "test@hpe.com",    "enable": true,    "name": "test",    "vestaPasswordMethod": "GENERATE_WORDS",    "vestaPasswordParameter": ""

• FIXED_UNICODE (if you want to set the password yourself)

Use the FXIED_UNICODE value with the option vestaPasswordParameter

For example

    "authSource": "xxx",    "changeNotification": "EMAIL",    "companyName": "test",    "displayName": "test",    "email": "test@hpe.com",    "enable": true,    "name": "test",    "vestaPasswordMethod": "FIXED_UNICODE",    "vestaPasswordParameter": "test123456"

changeNotification

Valid values for changeNotification or EMAIL or SMS
