How can I interact with the Nokia Git repository from NSP?

Purpose

The Nokia nsp-workflow repository on GitHub hosts sample workflows to be used with NSP. Use these workflows to get to know workflows in NSP, or as blueprints for your own workflows. You can also check for updates to workflows you have imported, or open the Nokia nsp-workflow repository.

The default environment uses the Nokia repository on GitHub. You can update the default environment to point to your own Git if needed.

Prerequisite

To import from the Nokia GitHub repository, you must add the following URLs to the allowed hosts list on the NSP server:

You can update the allowed hosts via postman, or using curl from the command line on the NSP server:

curl -kv --request POST https://VM IP/session-manager/api/v1/whitelist/allowedHosts --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{ "host": "url" }' --header "Authorization: Bearer authorization token

where VM IP is the IP address of the NSP server, url is the URL you are adding, and authorization token is a bearer token requested from NSP.
