One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions 5.7.0 - REST API Reference Guide

Headers

To create a new private key, you have to POST the private key as a JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-Safeguard for Privileged Sessions>/api/private_keys endpoint. For details, see Using the Safeguard for Privileged Sessions REST API. The body of the POST request must contain a JSON object with the parameters listed in Private keys stored on Safeguard for Privileged Sessions. The response to a successful POST message is a JSON object that includes the reference ID of the created private key in its key attribute. You can reference this ID in other parts of the configuration. Note that you can use a private-key object for only one purpose, that is, you cannot reference one object twice.

URL

POST https://<IP-address-of-Safeguard for Privileged Sessions>/api/configuration/private_keys

• Note that the GET method is not permitted on this endpoint, you cannot list the existing private keys. However, if you know the reference ID of a private key, you can display its properties:

  GET https://<IP-address-of-Safeguard for Privileged Sessions>/api/configuration/private_keys/<reference-ID-of-the-private-key;>

• You cannot directly delete or modify a private key, the DELETE and PUT methods are not permitted on private key objects. To update a private key, create a new one, then update the object that uses the old private key to reference the new private key.

Sample request

The following command creates a new private key object. Note the following requirements:

• The key must be in PKCS-1 PEM format.

• Encrypted private keys are not supported.

• The body of the POST message must be the private key as a single line, enclosed in double-quotes.

• Replace line-breaks in the PEM file with \n

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-Safeguard for Privileged Sessions>/api/configuration/private_keys --data "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEpAIBAAKCAQEAu3QMMhqeg9ZMLNfdvQoNN1deVRE2SR0VKY+ALnzPZF4fUoJy\n.....\nI2SchDibk/Xj/ZvuEQ23LvzayWOVVuVHtH3JZX3SU4Sa0vpaeC+3oddVTwQOWRq0\n ......... Qbn5W3xKz4vXDDQHEbEsvDQ9A7+uCEuHpO4s33IK9KEa0Zdp745AU0DSGXN4HFzc\n-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n"

Querying a specific key returns the following information about the key:

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-Safeguard for Privileged Sessions>/api/configuration/private_keys/<reference-ID-of-the-private-key;>

Response

The response to a successful POST message is a JSON object that includes the reference ID of the created public key in its key attribute. For details of the meta object, see Introduction.

Modify or delete private key

You cannot directly delete or modify a private key, the DELETE and PUT methods are not permitted on private key objects. To update a private key, create a new one, then update the object that uses the old private key to reference the new private key. After you commit the transaction, Safeguard for Privileged Sessions will automatically delete the old private key.

Headers

To create a new certificate, you have to POST the certificate and its private key as a JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-Safeguard for Privileged Sessions>/api/x509 endpoint. For details, see Using the Safeguard for Privileged Sessions REST API. The body of the POST request must contain a JSON object with the parameters listed in Certificates stored on Safeguard for Privileged Sessions. The response to a successful POST message is a JSON object that includes the reference ID of the created certificate in its key attribute. You can reference this ID in other parts of the configuration. Note that you can use a certificate object for only one purpose, that is, you cannot reference one object twice.

URL
