Appendix A:
SapV2
SapV2 stands for Software Authority Protocol Version 2. It is the glue that provides all of the communication
between the services insider Pathfinder Core PRO. It is also available for control and troubleshooting purposes on
port 9600 for those who wish to take the seriously deep tech dive into Pathfinder Core PRO.
Important Note:
Since SapV2 makes up the guts of inter process communication within Pathfinder
Core PRO, it is both incredibly powerful but also incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands. Backups are
highly recommended before working with this protocol, as it can be used not only to monitor objects
but to create and destroy them. To give you an idea, all of the web page user interfaces manipulate the
Pathfinder Core PRO configuration using this API. Therefore, you can do anything the configuration web
pages can do using this protocol. BE CAREFUL!
Content Note:
Because of the width of the page in this document, many of the example commands will
wrap to the next line. That is not the case with the actual messages as they appear in the system.
In order to interact with SapV2, open up a telnet session to port 9600 on the Pathfinder Core PRO.
In order to work with the system in any way using the protocol, you first must login:.
Login <username> <password>
Replace the bracketed username and password with a valid user and password.
Example:
