Using the SPS REST API

The following sections give you a general overview of how the SPS REST API works.

Authenticate to the SPS REST API

Prerequisites
The authentication procedure:

  1. To authenticate on the SPS REST server, send a GET request over HTTPS using the basic HTTP authentication method, including your username and password to the /api/authentication resource.

  2. If the authentication is successful, the server returns the 200 status code, and a meta object in the response body. Also, the HTTP headers of the response include an HTTP cookie named session_id. This cookie is used to identify the client in every subsequent HTTP request.

  3. For every subsequent request, include the session_id header with the value of the received session ID. For example:

    session_id 087658d7e30cdc2552b015dd761b6f7ccb25bbd5

  4. The authenticated session times out after 20 minutes of inactivity.

Required

The string Basic followed by the username:password encoded using the RFC2045-MIME. For example, Basic YWRtaW46YQ==
Sample request
Example: Authenticate to the SPS REST server using curl

The following command authenticates on SPS using the curl HTTP client. The --insecure option used in the example is used to bypass verifying the certificate of SPS. (Alternatively, you can use the --cacert option or the CURL_CA_BUNDLE environment variable to specify the Certificate Authority to verify the certificate of SPS. For details, see the curl man page).

When using the REST API in production environments, make sure to download the CA certificate of SPS from Basic Settings > Management > SSL certificate > CA X.509 certificate, and validate the certificate of SPS using this CA certificate, or with the CA certificate you used to sign the Server X.509 certificate of SPS.

curl --basic --user <username>:<password> --cookie-jar cookies --insecure https://<SPS-IP-address>/api/authentication

The cookie containing the session ID is also received (you can display it for example with the tail -l cookies command).

localhost  FALSE  /  FALSE  1395325830  session_id  600dc0ffeec0ffeec0ffeec0ffeec0ffeec0ffee

The following command retrieves the configuration of SPS, using the session ID received during the authentication.

curl --cookie cookies --insecure https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration
Response

The following is a sample response received if the authentication is successful.

{
  "meta": {
     "href": "/api",
     "next": "/api",
     "transaction": "/api/transaction"
  }
}
Authenticate with SPS login methods

You can use different login methods (local, LDAP, RADIUS, or X.509) to authenticate to SPS. To determine which login methods are available to you on SPS, use the Listing SPS login methods endpoint to list them.

URL
https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/authentication?login_method=<name-of-the-login-method>&type=<password|x509>

Query parameters related to the /authentication endpoint:

  • ?type=<password|x509>

    Where each value indicates the means of authentication to SPS:

    • password - You have to send the username and password in a Basic Authorization header.

    • x509 - You have to identify yourself with a client certificate

  • ?login_method=<name-of-the-login-method>

    A unique identifier for the login method. For example, x509_with_ldap_groups_name.

Example: Authenticating with password

The following command authenticates the user to SPS with local login.

curl --user <username>:<password> https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/authentication?login_method=example_login_method&type=password
Example: Authenticating with a x509 certificate

The following command authenticates the user to SPS with a x509 certificate.

curl --key <private-key.pem> --cert <x509-certificate.pem> https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/authentication?login_method=example_login_method&type=x509
Response

In all four examples, the following sample response is received if the authentication is successful.

{
"meta": {
    "href": "/api/authentication",
    "next": "/api",
    "remaining_seconds": 600,
    "transaction": "/api/transaction"
}
 

The HTTP response code is 302 Moved Temporarily. An HTTP response with this status code provides a redirect URL in the header field Location.

For more information on the meta object, see Message format.

Successful authentication

InvalidAuthenticationRequest

Unable to authenticate: no valid credentials found.

AuthenticationFailure

Authenticating the user with the given credentials has failed.

MethodNotAllowed

You tried using an unsupported HTTP method. Use the GET method for authentication.

Authenticate to the SPS REST API using X.509 certificate

Prerequisites

  • The REST server must permit certificate authentication to the SPS web interface. If only password-based authentication is permitted, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

The authentication procedure:

  1. To authenticate on the SPS REST server, send an HTTPS GET request, including your certificate to the /api/authentication?type=x509 resource. The certificate must be signed by the Trusted CA certificate that is configured on the Users & Access Control > Settings > X.509 > AUTHENTICATION CA field of the SPS web interface, or the /api/configuration/aaa/settings resource.

  2. If the authentication is successful, the server responds with an HTTP 302 redirect to the /api/ resource, and also , sets an HTTP cookie named session_id. This cookie is used to identify the client in every subsequent HTTP request. The response body also includes a meta object.

  3. For every subsequent request, include the session_id header with the value of the received session ID. For example:

    session_id 087658d7e30cdc2552b015dd761b6f7ccb25bbd5

  4. The authenticated session times out after 20 minutes of inactivity.

The Location header in the response is /api/.
400 InvalidAuthenticationRequest Unable to authenticate: no valid credentials found. SPS returns this message if password fallback is enabled for the admin user, but the admin tries to authenticate with a certificate on the /api/authentication endpoint. To authenticate with a certificate, use the /api/authentication?type=x509 endpoint.
401 AuthenticationFailure Authenticating the user with the given credentials has failed.
405 MethodNotAllowed You tried using an unsupported HTTP method. Use the GET method for authentication.
