How to run Python Sample Code for MLE

In this “How-to” guide, we will show you how to test MLE (Message Level Encryption) enabled APIs using Python.

 

Important Links:

 

Enable MLE for the API(s) you are interested in.

 

Login to your Visa Developer Dashboard and go to your project, you should see something like this:

Enable the APIs for which MLE needs to be active in VDP by toggling the API for which MLE needs to be enforced.

 

In this example, we will enable MLE for Funds Transfer API And Query API as below:

How to get credentials

 

You can obtain your project credentials by browsing the left side navigation menu of your project and click on “Credentials”.

 

2020-11-11_11-25-10.png

 

Next step we will create a Key-ID by clicking on the Generate Key-ID button.

 

2020-11-11_11-29-02.png

 

After you have clicked the button, you will get Key-ID. Copy the Key-ID for your reference.

The Key-ID will look like this: 41d9f2a1-xxxx-4xxx-b40c-a0480c2xxxxx

The next step is to add a CSR (Certificate Signing Request). Click on the link "Add CSR" .   

 

You will be prompt to submit a Certificate Signing Request. 

 

2020-11-11_11-32-46.png

 

We have option to Generate a CSR for me (default) or submit your own. In this example we will use the Generate a CSR for me (default) and Click Confirm button.

 

After submitting the request, you will be prompt to download the Certificate/Copy Private Key. 

 

2020-11-11_11-34-26.png

 

After you have downloaded the private key, check the box "I confirm that I've downloaded my certificate key" and click continue. You will see the Status change to "Active".

 

 

Expand the Key-ID and you will see the Server Encryption Certificate and Client Encryption Certificate.

Download both certificates and save it.

To be able to make an API call with MLE, you need to have the following

  • Server Encryption Certificate
  • Key-ID
  • Certificate Private Key

 

How to run Python Sample Code for MLE

 

 

Step 1 - Create a new project on PyCharm

 

  • Launch PyCharm, on the PyCharm Welcome Screen, click Create New Project.
  • In the New Project wizard, select Pure Python from the list on the left, provide the project Location and click Create. Please make sure to specify your “Project Interpreter” as Python2
  • Create a new file and named it “mle_oct.py

 

Refer to How to run Python Sample Code using the Hello World API and Mutual SSL for how to create a project with PyCharm and testing VISA APIs using Mutual SSL.

 

Step 2 - Copy the below sample code to the “mle_oct.py” file

 

  • Install all the required dependencies when prompt by PyCharm, alternatively you can use pip to install the dependencies
  • Set the below parameters:

//For Basic Auth and Mutual SSL

user_id  = 'YOUR_USER_ID'

password = 'YOUR_PASSWORD'

 

cert = 'ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_CERTIFICATE'

key  = 'ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_PRIVATE_KEY'

 

//For MLE

myKey_ID  = 'YOUR_KEY_ID'

server_cert = 'YOUR_SERVER_CERT'

private_key = 'YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY'

Re: How to run Python Sample Code for MLE

Hello,

 

 

Thanks for this tutorial.

 

Is it required to run on Python 2?

 

Also I am getting this error.

I am using PyCharm community edittion.
