WebApp is readonly - prevents automated certifcate updates via API

[commonism]

The WebApp object does not allow updating.

fp-NGFW-SMC-python/smc/elements/servers.py

Lines 207 to 210 in e04026d

	class WebApp(NestedDict):
	"""
	Represents a Web Application parameter.
	"""

Therefore it is not possible too update the server certificate using the API.

I think it is meant to be update() able, as there is code using it:

fp-NGFW-SMC-python/smc/elements/servers.py

Lines 803 to 825 in e04026d

	def configure_saml_on_web_app(self, webapp_name, saml_settings_entries):
	"""
	Configure SAML settings on a WebApp by its identifier.
	:param str webapp_name: the identifier of the WebApp
	:param list of SamlSettings saml_settings or None: the list of SAML Settings to configure.
	If None, it will disable the SAML settings for the WebApp.
	:return: None
	:raises ValueError: if the WebApp with the given identifier is not found.
	"""
	web_app = self.get_web_app_by_identifier(webapp_name)
	if web_app:
	saml_usage = "web_access"
	new_saml_settings_entries = [s for s in web_app.data.get("saml_settings", []) if
	s.get("usage") != saml_usage]
	if saml_settings_entries:
	for entry in saml_settings_entries:
	entry["saml_setting_usage"] = saml_usage
	new_saml_settings_entries.append(entry)
	web_app.data["enable_saml_for_web_access"] = (saml_settings_entries is not None
	and len(saml_settings_entries) > 0)
	web_app.data["saml_settings"] = new_saml_settings_entries
	web_app.update()

fp-NGFW-SMC-python/smc/elements/servers.py

	web_app.data["saml_settings"] = new_saml_settings_entries
	web_app.update()
	else:
	raise ValueError(f"WebApp with identifier {webapp_name} not found.")

I need the WebApp object to be update()'able to allow updating certificates using the API, from ACME to SMC.

Hello @commonism,

Yes you are correct, we have opened internally a ticket to provide a fix and also test it.
It should be available in next release of smc-python.

/Greg.
