How to test data source connection through REST management interface

[jsbournival]

Hi, I found the syntax to trigger a connection test on a data source through the REST management interface:

curl --digest -L -D - http://admin:admin123@localhost:9990/management/ -d '{"operation":"test-connection-in-pool","address":[{"subsystem":"datasources"},{"data-source":"ExampleDS"}]}' -HContent-Type:application/json

Altough I'm always returned a 403. Which is strange because other functionalities are working.  Is there something in my HTTP call that is wrong?

Thanks for helping.

The call looks correct. Executing the above command gives me

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Transfer-encoding: chunked

Content-type: application/json

{"outcome" : "success", "result" : [true]}

So maybe this is caused by some authorization issue. Did you verify that the command works in jboss-cli:

/subsystem=datasources/data-source=ExampleDS:test-connection-in-pool

With curl, I am able to make it work.  Although, using a REST client like Postman or Google Chrome Advanced Rest Client, I still have that annoying 403.
