Barracuda Email Security Gateway API Guide

How the Barracuda API Works
Barracuda Networks provides APIs for remote administration and configuration of the Barracuda Email Security Gateway version 4.x and above.
Two sets of APIs are presented in this guide. Most of the examples shown use Perl script.

The General APIs section covers "generic" APIs that may be used with all Barracuda Networks appliances that support an API. For
more information, see General APIs.
The APIs for the Barracuda Email Security Gateway section covers APIs that are specific only to the Barracuda Email Security
Gateway. For more information, see APIs for the Barracuda Email Security Gateway.

The framework of the API provides for the programmer to get or set variables inside an XML-RPC request that correspond to field values in the
configuration database in the Barracuda Email Security Gateway. Some languages such as Perl, for example, provide wrappers for XML-RPC
requests, providing an interface to form the request.

What Can Be Configured With the APIs

The APIs work through manipulation of variables inside of the system configuration database, and anything that can be declared in that database
can be set or checked with the APIs. This includes most things that you can set by clicking the Save button in the Barracuda Email Security
Gateway web interface. For example, from the BASIC > Spam Checking page, you can set global Spam Scoring Limits for the actions Block,
Tag, or Quarantine, and then click Save:

Conversely, most things that correspond to "action" type buttons in the web interface cannot be configured by the APIs. For example, from the B
ASIC > Administration page, you can click a button to take the system offline, to shut it down, or to clear the message log, but you cannot
execute these "actions" via the APIs. An exception to this is the Reload feature/button – there is an API to re-apply the system configuration.

Understanding Variables in the Configuration

The examples in this guide demonstrate getting and setting some of the variables in the configuration database. Some examples use variable
names in the method calls, while other examples use explicit values, just to demonstrate both ways of making API calls.

Make sure not to use an editor that may add special characters. Also make sure to use single quotes to surround literal values in your
calls, and use double quotes to surround variables.

my $url = "http://$cuda_ip:80/cgi-mod/api.cgi?password=help";
my $result = $xmlrpc->call('config.set', {
type => 'domain',
path => 'barracuda.com',
mta_relay_advanced_host => '1.3.3.7'
});

Two of the methods in the General APIs section, config.varlist and config.var_attr, are utilities that provide information on scope and attributes of

Copyright © 2017, Barracuda Networks Inc.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway Administrator's Guide - Page 3

configuration variables to help you understand how to access and use them. Calling these methods prior to using the other APIs will provide a
good reference of the configuration variables.

Secured Access to the APIs

Access to these APIs are limited to IP addresses on a trusted IP address list configured on the BASIC > Administration page in the Allowed
API IP/Range section of the Barracuda Email Security Gateway web interface. Make sure to enter the IP address(es) from which you'll access
the APIs in this section of the web interface as the first thing you do. Attempts to call these APIs from any IP address that is not on the list will be
denied. All calls to the APIs require the use of the API password, which is set on the same page and section in the web interface.

XML-RPC Model
In the APIs, action parameters are received as XML strings that comply with the XML-RPC specification, which can be viewed here: http://www.X
MLrpc.com/spec. This requires that requests for all actions be in the form of an HTTP POST request. All actions are rolled into one CGI script (for
example: api.cgi) and map to an XML-RPC method, and the parameters are those needed for the action to complete.

For example, the get action maps to the config.get XML-RPC method and all the parameters needed for the get will be sent in the XML body.
The Perl module XML::RPC (note that this is not a part of the standard Perl distribution) will be used by api.cgi to retrieve the requested method
and parameters. Once this is done, the action is performed and the response is sent back to the client. When an error is detected, a response
that complies with the fault response of the XML-RPC specification is sent (see examples below). This response contains both a fault code and a
meaningful fault string. See Error Codes for a list and explanation of fault codes.

The XML-RPC Request and Response

The XML script is called from a Perl script or other scripting language. Each API takes its own set of parameters which are submitted in the XML
body of the request. Examples of the XML output follow the request example below, both for a successful request as well as for a request that
returns an error. The single-value request / response involves a single variable value. Responses that contain multiple values will send the values
back as an XML-RPC array. The response from the scripts is in the form of XML per the examples shown in this guide.

To make the request, use the base URL of your Barracuda Email Security Gateway that you use for connecting to the web interface and append
the script name you wish to use. For example, if your script is called 'api.cgi', your URL might look something like this: http://barracuda.mydoma
in.com:8000/cgi-mod/api.cgi

Parameters used to build the request typically include some or all of the following:

variable – A required parameter that tells the API which variable to return from the configuration. For example, the configuration variable
'scana_block_level' represents the global Spam Scoring Limit block level as set on the BASIC > Spam Checking page in the web
interface. To get or set this variable's value, you'd put 'scana_block_level' in the XML request body specified as a variable:

<name>variable</name>
<value>
<string><![CDATA[scana_block_level]]></string>
</value>

password – A required parameter which the API uses to authenticate access to a page and which is set by the administrator on the
BASIC > Administration page in the API Password field. See the contents of 'my $url' in the Single Value Request / Response example
below, which uses a password of '1234'.
type – A parameter that specifies the class/scope of a variable. The "scope" of a variable would be one of either global (for global
settings), domain (for per-domain settings) or user (for per-user settings).

If the variable is a "tied variable", however, one or more other variables are related to it, so multiple variables will be specified in the XML request.
For example, on the BLOCK/ACCEPT > IP Reputation page, a custom RBL domain name or IP address is associated with, or "tied to" an
"action" of Block, Quarantine or Tag. The variable names to set, which you'll see in the configuration file, are mta_rbl_custom_name and
mta_rbl_custom_action respectively. In this case, the "type" would be 'mta_rbl_custom_name'.

path – A parameter that typically corresponds to scope_data which refers to the particular instance of the object. For variables with
global scope, the path is an empty string because there can be only one instance of global and it is the "starting point" in the same
manner, for example, as the root (/) directory in Unix. So all variable and objects under global scope have type as 'global' and path as an
empty string.

When setting the value of a variable or variables that have a type of 'domain', the path would be expressed as the domain name. When working
with tied variables such as 'httpd_acl_ip_config_address' which relates to a value of 'httpd_acl_ip_config_netmask', for example, the path would
be expressed as the actual IP address corresponding to 'httpd_acl_ip_config_address', as shown in this example:

To get the value of httpd_acl_ip_config_netmask corresponding to the httpd_acl_ip_config_address of 192.168.1.1 , the arguments would be:

Copyright © 2017, Barracuda Networks Inc.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway Administrator's Guide - Page 4

type: httpd_acl_ip_config_address
path: 192.168.1.1
variable: httpd_acl_ip_config_netmask

Single Value Request / Response

To determine the Spam Scoring Limit global Block level (set in the web interface on the BASIC > Spam Checking page) for the Barracuda
Email Security Gateway, use the config.get method to retrieve the current Block value as shown in this example.

To set the value of the global Block level, call the config.set method and set the variable scana_block_level to the desired value. Both calls deal
with a single value. In the configuration, you'll see this entry for the global Spam Scoring Limit Block level, indicating that the current setting is '9'
on the scale from 0-10:

# Default Block Level

scana_block_level = 9

Example: Perl

The config.get request would look something like this as called from a Perl script. The additional examples in further sections of this guide will
only show the call from a Perl script.

my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
my $req = new HTTP::Request 'POST', $url;
my $xml = qq|
Here's the XML:

$req->content_type('text/xml');
$req->content($xml);
# send the request over transport object
my $res = $ua->request($req);
# show the response from the Barracuda
print $res->as_string;
# END

The request is an HTTP POST to the /cgi-mod/api.cgi '. The POST data is an XML body that contains the request method config.get inside the
<methodName> tag. The requested method is config.get since we are trying to retrieve the global Block level.
Note that the mandatory parameters needed for completing this action, "variable" (name of the configuration variable) and "password", are
contained inside the <struct> tag. Each parameter is identified by the name (<name> tag) and the value (<value> tag). Possible types for each
parameter are restricted by the types listed in the XML-RPC specification.

This example includes only the mandatory parameters. Optional parameters can be added to the XML body using the format mentioned and will
be processed accordingly. Sample output for the request would look something like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

<methodResponse>
<methodName>config.get</methodName>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<i4>7</i4>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>

All responses will contain the 200 OK success status code. Content-type of the response will be text/XML. The actual response, i.e. the value of
the requested configuration variable, will be sent inside the <value> tag.

Multi-Value Response

Responses that contain multiple values will send the values back as an XML-RPC array. The example below is a request for a list of domains
configured as Accepted Email Recipient Domain(s) on the Barracuda Email Security Gateway, which can be set from the BASIC > IP
Configuration page in the web interface and which are stored in the configuration database in the domain variable.
The response may include multiple values, returned as an array inside the <array> tag. The format of the XML response body looks like this,
returning three (domain name) values:

OK <?XML version="1.0" encoding="UTF8"?>

<methodResponse>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name>domain</name>

<string> domain3.com</string>
</value>
</data>
</array
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>

Error responses use the XML-RPC faultCode and faultString formats. The error code will be the value of the faultCode member and the error
string will be the valueError Response of the faultString member. See Error Codes for a list of faultCodes and descriptions of possible errors.
Here's an example of an error response, showing the XML:

Example: PHP

This example calls the user.create API to create a new user account, which is covered in the APIs for the Barracuda Email Security Gateway s
ection of this guide. The library used for this example can be found on the following sourceforge page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpxmlrpc/
In the code the library is included as a file. Make sure this file is readable from within your environment.

<?php
include("xmlrpc.inc");
$y = new xmlrpcval(
array(
"user" => new xmlrpcval("[email protected]", "string")
), "struct");
$m = new xmlrpcmsg('user.create');
$m->addParam($y);
$c = new xmlrpc_client("/cgi-mod/api.cgi?password=[APIPassword]", "[BarracudaIP]",
[BarracudaPort]);
$r = $c->send($m);
if (!$r->faultCode()) {
$v = $r->value();
print $r->serialize();
} else {
print "Fault <BR>";
print "Code: " . htmlentities($r->faultCode()) . "<BR>" .
"Reason: '" . htmlentities($r->faultString()) . "'<BR>";
}
?>

Example: Java

This example calls the user.create API to create a new user account, which is covered in the APIs for the Barracuda Email Security Gateway
section of this guide. In the example, a key value pair is created using a standard Map class and added into a Vector list.

To determine the name of the variable you want to configure, log into the Barracuda Email Security Gateway web interface as admin. On the
page where you configure the setting, highlight the value field, right click and select Inspect Element. The input_id typically contains the name of
the configuration variable. See the blue highlight in the figure below: the part of the input_id after UPDATE_ is the variable name. In this case, it
is alerts_email_address.

How to Access Variables in the Configuration

Copyright © 2017, Barracuda Networks Inc.

Barracuda Email Security Gateway Administrator's Guide - Page 9

General APIs
The API interfaces presented in this section are general in that they are applicable to the Barracuda Email Security Gateway as well as to other
Barracuda Networks appliances. The examples presented here are specific to the Barracuda Email Security Gateway.

Example: Config.get

Use this method to retrieve values of variables in the system configuration. If the variable requested has only a single value (Spam Tag
Configuration Subject Tag level, for example), the output will be different than the output for a variable that contains a list (users, domains, etc.).
This method gets the value of the variable in the object of $type named $path. The return $value is a reference to an array if it is multi-valued, i.e.
a list.

Refer to the example in Single Value Response for getting a variable with a single value and to Multi-value Response for getting a variable that
contains a list. Arguments to the method can be specified by just adding the parameter in the XML request.

Parameters Allowed

The following variables are used with the config.get method. These variables should be provided as part of the request XML in the HTTP POST
request.

variable – A required parameter that tells the API which variable to return.
password – A required parameter which the API uses to authenticate access to a page and which is set by your administrator.
type – A required parameter that specifies the class/scope of a variable.
path – A required parameter that is the qualified name of an object for which the value is required. Note that the value for path is an
empty string for getting a variable under global scope.

Get the Value of a Variable under Global Scope - System Alerts Email Address

Getting the current value of a system variable uses the config.get method. This example gets the value of the System Alerts Email Address vari
able, typically set from the BASIC > Administration page.

Arguments

type: 'global'
variable: alerts_email_address

The name of the variable, alerts_email_address, is shown in the <input_id>, to the right of Update_.

XML Code for this Example

Note that the name tag indicates that the API applies to a single variable in the configuration. The value tag indicates that the expected value of
that variable is a string, and takes the variable name noted above, alerts_email_address, as the input.

my $password = "1234";
my $url = " http://$cuda_ip:8000/cgi-mod/api.cgi?password=$password ";

#Create the XML::RPC object

my $xmlrpc = XML::RPC->new ($url);
my $result;

$result = $xmlrpc->call ('config.get',

{
type => 'global',
variable => 'alerts_email_address',
});

# show the response from the Barracuda Web Filter

print "--- RESPONSE ---";
print $xmlrpc->xml_in();
# END

Example 2: Get the value of a variable under global scope - Subject Tag for Spam Messages

Get the value of a variable, scana_subject_tag in this case, under global scope. This example will return the Subject Tag string to be inserted by
the Barracuda Email Security Gateway in the subject of a message determined to be spam. This setting is configured from the BASIC > Spam
Checking page for the global setting. Note that the path value is an empty string and can be left out, since the scope, or type, is global.

Arguments

type: 'global'
variable: scana_subject_tag

Config.remove

Use this method to remove the given value(s) from the list variable. This will not remove values from tied variables. For removing values from tied
variables, use the config.delete method.

Parameters Allowed

The following parameters are used by the config.remove method and should be provided as part of the request XML in the HTTP POST request:

password – A required parameter which the API uses to authenticate access to a page and which is set by your administrator.
parent_type – A required parameter that tells the API about the class/scope of the parent container.
parent_path – A required parameter which is the qualified name of a parent object.
variable – A required parameter that specifies the variable for which values should be removed.
values – A required parameter specifying a list of values to be removed.

Example: Removing values from a variable under global scope

Removes host/domain name values 'mytrustedrelay1.com' and 'mytrustedrelay2.com from the mta_trusted_relay_host list. These Trusted Relay
Host/Domain names are added or deleted on the ADVANCED > Outbound page in the web interface and represent trusted relays on the
Barracuda Email Security Gateway.

Arguments

parent_type: 'global',
parent_path: ''
variable: 'mta_trusted_relay_host'
values: ['mytrustedrelay1.com', 'mytrustedrelay2.com']

Use Case Scenarios

These examples draw on the information presented above for using various methods to configure the Barracuda Email Security Gateway for
common use cases. Some use cases address domain-level settings and some address global settings.

Use Case – Adding a Whitelist Entry to a User Account

Use the config.add method to add any email senders to the whitelist for a particular user account. This list of senders are not blocked even if the
message matches spam rules. Virus scanning is still applied based on the policy set by the administrator. Whitelisting may be performed by full
email address ("[email protected]") or domain only ("domain.com").

Important: Per-User Quarantine must be enabled for the domain via the web interface BEFORE you attempt to add per-user whitelist entries. To
do so, first, from the DOMAINS > Domain Manager page, click Manage Domain for the particular domain. For example, if the user account is cu
[email protected], click on Manage Domain for barracuda.com. At the domain level, navigate to the BASIC > Quarantine page and set
Quarantine Type to Per-User. Finally, set Enable User Features to Yes.

Arguments:

my $value1 = '[email protected]';
my $value2 = '[email protected]';
my $user_account = '[email protected]';

Use Case – Adding a Blocklist Entry for a Domain

Use the config.create method to add any IP addresses or networks to the blocklist for a particular domain. This example adds an IP address to
the blocklist for the specified domain and adds values to the per-domain tied variables listed below. The mta_acl_ip_block_action is set to
'quarantine' for mail from the IP address added to the blocklist, and the mta_acl_ip_block_netmask is set to 255.255.255.0 since we're adding an
individual IP address. A comment of 'Blocked IP address' is added as well.

# Add values to per domain tied variable

Barracuda Email Security Gateway Administrator's Guide - Page 57

# Domain – xyz.mydomain.net
# Variable – mta_acl_ip_block_address (domain scope): 10.5.36.59
# Tied variables – mta_acl_ip_block_netmask, mta_acl_ip_block_action, mta_acl_ip_block_comment.

Arguments:

type: mta_acl_ip_block_address
parent_path: xyz.mydomain.net
mta_acl_ip_block_netmask: 255.255.255.0
mta_acl_ip_block_action: 'Quarantine'
mta_acl_ip_block_comment: 'Blocked IP Address'

Use Case – Adding a Regular Expression to a Content Filter

This example uses the config.create method described in the previous section. Using config.create you can add regular expressions to a content
filter, which is a global setting. For more details about using regular expressions and content filtering, see the BLOCK/ACCEPT > Content
Filtering page. The output of a successful call is a simple '200 OK'.

Use Case – Listing Explicit Users (Valid Recipients) and Aliases at the Global Level

Supported by firmware version 5.1.3.006, 6.x and higher

Use the config.list method to list valid recipients and aliased accounts at the global level - i.e. not domain-specific. Explicit Users and aliased
email accounts are added or deleted on the ADVANCED > Explicit Users page of the web interface. In this case, the Type, or scope, is blank
(empty) to indicate global. Note that the ‘variable’ ‘list_valid_recipient_aliases’ is not actually a variable as defined in the configuration; rather, it is
an indicator to the API of what is being listed by the config.list call.

Use Case – Adding and Configuring Multiple Domains

Use the domain.add method, described in the previous section, in a loop to add multiple domains for which the Barracuda Email Security

Barracuda Email Security Gateway Administrator's Guide - Page 62

Gateway should process email. These domains will then be listed in the DOMAINS > Domain Manager page of the web interface.

To configure the domains, use the config.set method for each domain. This example configures the 'Spam Score limit block level' to 4 for n
domains, by setting the scana_pd_block_level variable, if you put the request in a loop. In the web interface, you'll see this value on the BASIC >
Spam Checking page after clicking on the Manage Domain link for each domain.

Use Case – Listing Valid Recipients and Aliases for a Domain

Supported by firmware version 5.1.3.006, 6.x and higher

Use the config.list method to list valid recipients and aliased accounts for a domain. Valid Recipients and aliased email accounts are added or
deleted on the per-domain USERS > Valid Recipients page of the web interface. In this case, the Type, or scope, is ‘domain’, and this call
returns a list of all valid recipients and aliased email accounts for the domain ‘mymail.net’. Note that the ‘variable’ ‘list_valid_recipient_aliases’ is
not actually a variable as defined in the configuration; rather, it is an indicator to the API of what is being listed by the config.list call.

Use Case – Adding Valid Recipients and Aliases for a Domain

Supported by firmware version 5.1.3.006, 6.x and higher

Use the config.set method to add valid recipients and aliases for a domain. This case adds a primary account and two email aliases for the
domain ‘testqa.com'. Aliased accounts are added or deleted on the per-domain USERS > Valid Recipients page of the web interface and are
linked to a 'primary account', which receives quarantined mail for the aliased accounts. The primary valid recipient is added first, followed by a
number of aliases. See the per-domain USERS > Valid Recipients page of the web interface for details about alias linking.

Note that the ‘member’ name ‘new_valid_recipient_aliases’ is an indicator to the API of what is being set by the config.set call. Make sure the
domain is present in the Barracuda Email Security Gateway before adding recipients and aliases.

Arguments:

path: testqa.com
type: domain
child_type: global
my $domain = "testqa.com";
my $primary_valid_recip = '[email protected]';

Barracuda Email Security Gateway Administrator's Guide - Page 64

my $alias = '[email protected]'.' '.'[email protected]';

my $primary_and_alias = $primary_valid_recip." ".$alias;
new_valid_recipient_aliases = '[email protected] [email protected] [email protected]';

Use Case – Deleting Aliases and Valid Recipients for a Domain

Supported by firmware version 5.1.3.006, 6.x and higher

Use the config.delete method to delete valid recipients and aliases for a domain.This example deletes the valid recipient and aliases for the
domain ‘testqa.com’. Valid recipients and aliased accounts are added or deleted on the per-domain USERS > Valid Recipients page of the web
interface. Note that the variable ‘delete_valid_recipient_aliases’ is not actually a variable as defined in the configuration; rather, it is an indicator to
the API of what is being deleted by the config.delete call.

In this example, '[email protected]', '[email protected]' are the aliases to be deleted. Make sure the domain for which you are deleting aliased
accounts is present in the Barracuda Email Security Gateway. The list of per-domain aliased user accounts to be deleted can be specified in the
'Values' variable in the XML request.

Arguments:

path: testqa.com
type: domain
my $domain = "testqa.com";
my $user2 = '[email protected]';
my $user3 = '[email protected]';
