Troubleshooting
Problem
Not able to pass extended attributes as parameters in GET HTTP request.
Symptom
Passing extended attribute in GET HTTP request for list API is not returning expected results.
Cause
Only selected attributes can be passed in GET request for list APIs. See REST documentation for list of those attributes for each API.
Resolving The Problem
Only selected attributes can be passed in GET request for list APIs. See REST documentation for list of those attributes for each API. For other attributes, including extended attributes, POST method should be used.
For example, if the requirement is to list users which are active using getUserList API, use POST method and post the following input XML
<User>
<Extn ExtnUserActive="Y"/>
</User>
