----------------------------------------------
Summary: API searches for names should not be fuzzy / wildcards
Key: CLOUDSTACK-1179
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1179
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: API
Affects Versions: 4.0.0, 4.0.1, 4.1.0
Reporter: Wido den Hollander
Fix For: 4.2.0
During some API work I found that when you query for a 'name' with
ListDomains, ListAccounts and/or ListVolumes this search is fuzzy (with
a wildcard).
For example when listing domains:
if (domainName != null) {
sc.setParameters("name", "%" + domainName + "%");
}
Or when listing volumes:
if (name != null) {
sc.setParameters("name", "%" + name + "%");
}
This search is always a wildcard.
So if you want to know if domain 'customerX' exists you query for that,
but your results can also contain 'customerXY' and 'customerXX'.
command=listDomains&name=customerX
I'm taking the listing of domains again and you can also use the
'keyword' parameter like:
command=listDomains&name=customerX&keyword=customerX
On the mailinglist it seems that we agree that these queries should not be
fuzzy but should be exact matches.
