Dataview JSON RPC Automator

This is just a simple JSON RPC server in python intended to implement an "automator" for WLNet Dataview.

Generating a X.509 Server Certificate

TLS is utilized to provide secure communications between the RPC consumer and the RPC server. You must create a X.509 Server certificate and private key for this to work.

openssl genrsa -out server.pem 4096
openssl req -new -x509 -key server.pem -out cert.pem -days 730

Once you have generated the private key and certificate, copy the certificate (cert.pem) to the machine the RPC consumer is operating from.

Generating Authentication Token

$ openssl rand -hex 32

When you launch the automator script, be sure that the RPCSERVER_TOKEN environment variable is set.

export RPCSERVER_TOKEN='GENERATED_TOKEN'

Launching automator

Be sure that you have generated the X.509 Server Certificate and exported the RPCSERVER_TOKEN environment variable, then:

$ python3 automator.py --tlscert cert.pem --tlskey server.pem
