Hi all!! I’m using the opennebula sandbox on virtualbox…I’d like to manage VMs with a java program using API… I downloaded OCA and started programming but I don’t know how to communicate with the sandbox on virtualbox Thank you ---

we use oca to connect to opennebula with xmlrpc with this address: [http://IPORHOSTNAME:2633/RPC2](http://IPORHOSTNAME:2633/RPC2)’ check your sandbox networking type and find your ip address to connect to opennebula . ---

Hi thank you for your reply!! In virtualbox settings I setted the network to NAT and as suggested in the sandbox guide I forwarded ports 9869 to 9869 and 29876 to 29876. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 to execute virtualbox and to execute the java program wich will control the sandbox if in the browser I enter localhost:9869 it opens sunstone page… instead if i put localhost:29876 it says: Error response Error code 405. Message: Method Not Allowed. Error code explanation: 405 = Specified method is invalid for this resource… when you say > [@Arash](#): > > check your sandbox networking type and find your ip address to connect to opennebula you mean virtualbox network settings? ---

yes in both Nat and Bridge you have one IP address for your machine . to connecting to api you have to use virtual machine ip address : [http://machineipaddress:2633/RPC2](http://machineipaddress:2633/RPC2) another way that im not testing it yet is forwarding 2633 port using virtuabox forwarding setting . after that maybe you can connect to api using [http://localhost:2633/RPC2](http://localhost:2633/RPC2) ---

thank you for your reply I portforwarded 2633 to 2633 quickly and now when i browse to [http://localhost:2633](http://localhost:2633) i get ``` Error 404 This XML-RPC For C/C++ Abyss XML-RPC server responds to only one URI path. I don't know what URI path that is, but it's not the one you requested: '/'. (Typically, it's '/RPC2') ABYSS Web Server for XML-RPC For C/C++ version 1.33.6 ``` if I put [http://localhost:2633/RPC2](http://localhost:2633/RPC2) in the browser I get Error 405 ``` POST is the only HTTP method this server understands ABYSS Web Server for XML-RPC For C/C++ version 1.33.6 ``` I’m on the right way? ---

yes now you can now start using api 🙂 ---

Thank you next step… I am trying the code sample from this page [http://docs.opennebula.org/4.6/integration/system\_interfaces/java.html](http://docs.opennebula.org/4.6/integration/system_interfaces/java.html) what I have to do to use XRPC? before the sample code I put these imports ``` import org.opennebula.client.Client; import org.opennebula.client.vm.VirtualMachine; import org.opennebula.client.OneResponse; import org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcClient; ``` if i compile it i get `ONE_AUTH file not present` How can i set the $ONE\_AUTH path? I’m executing the program on netbeans and openenbula is running on virtualbox… Thanks!! ---

ONE\_AUTH can be an environment variable with this format `export ONE_AUTH=oneadmin:password` or a file `~/.one/one_auth` contains `oneadmin:password` ---

Hi capvt, How did you execute the program that uses the opennebula API ? Did you use any server such as Tomcat ? which type of program did you write (e.g., java program pr dynamic program or spring boot program)?
