In 9.5U1, Zerto introduced a new Zerto Virtual Manager Appliance (ZVMA) which differs from the "classic" Zerto Virtual Manager installed on a Windows Server. First and foremost, the authentication has changed to use Keycloak, an "Open Source Identity and Access Management" solution which supports a wide range of authentication methods. With that, scripts built for the classic ZVM will not work without modification. Instead of embedding a username and password into a script, an administrator would create a secret within Keycloak, call a Keycloak API with that secret, then receive a token to make calls to the APIs on the ZVML appliance going forward.
These code samples provide sample code showing how one could connect to a ZVM Appliance and perform some common operations, such as list VPGs.
