4.2.1 Authentication

Authentication for the REST interface to the Web Services Utilities API follows the same approach as that used to authenticate against the Oracle VM Manager REST API, see Section 2.2, “How do I Authenticate?” for more information. If your client is already authenticated, there should be no reason to perform authentication again in order to access the Utilities API.

The Utilities API can be accessed by appending "/Utilities" to the URI. Therefore, the base URI to access the utilities via the REST interface is:

https://hostname:port/ovm/core/wsapi/rest/Utilities

In this URI, replace hostname with the host name or IP address of Oracle VM Manager, and replace port with the number of the port where the REST web service is available - the default is 7002 (SSL).
