Overview of this book

OpenDaylight is an open source platform to program and build Software-Defined Networks (SDN). Its aim is to accelerate the adoption of SDN and NFV. With above 90 practical recipes, this book will help you to solve day-to-day problems and maintenance tasks surrounding OpenDaylight’s implementation. This book starts with the OpenDaylight fundamentals. In this book, you will gain a sound understanding of the methods and techniques when deploying OpenDaylight in production environment. Later on, you will learn to create a Service Chain using SFC. This book will address common problems and day-to-day maintenance tasks with OpenDaylight. We’ll also will teach you how to interact with OpenDaylight APIs and use the necessary tools to simulate networks. You will also explore how to create your own branded OpenDaylight along with authorising and authenticating users using OpenDaylight Identity Manager. By the end of this book, you will have the necessary skills to operate an OpenDaylight SDN environment.

Token-based authentication in OpenDaylight

OpenDaylight has different techniques to authenticate different operations. Token-based authentication is used in the SDN production environment to control the lifetime of the authenticated operations in OpenDaylight. In this recipe, you will learn how to generate a token that can be used to authenticate OpenDaylight's HTTP requests.

Getting ready

This recipe requires a new OpenDaylight Beryllium distribution.

How to do it...

  1. Start the OpenDaylight distribution using the karaf script. Using this client will give you access...
