Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Developer's Guide

The REST URL Format

The OpenSSO Enterprise REST operations are supported out of the box so no special configurations are required. The format of the URL is:


http://OpenSSO-host:OpenSSO-port/opensso/identity/OpenSSO-REST-interface?
parameter1=value1&parameter2=value2&parameterN=valueN

Caution – Caution –

If the value of the parameters (value1, value2, ..., valueN) contains unsafe characters, they need to be URL encoded when forming the REST URL. For example, an equal sign (=) needs to be replaced with %3D or an ampersand (&) needs to be replaced with %26. Refer to RFC 1738 for more information on unsafe characters and URL encoding. Some of the following sections contain examples of URL encoding.
