The Oracle FS System RESTful API uses the same authentication credentials as the Oracle FS System Manager and Oracle FS CLI (FSCLI). All requests from external clients are individually authenticated using the appliance credentials and are conducted over an HTTPS connection on port 8085.
The
Oracle FS System RESTful API uses the Apache HTTP header
Authentication property. The value for the
Authentication property follows the standard
basic authentication pattern. The value is a Base64‑encoded string consisting of the
Oracle FS System administrator user ID concatenated with a colon (:), concatenated with the password
Oracle FS System administrator. The resulting string is stored in the
Authentication property in the HTTP header for the
Oracle FS System RESTful API request.
Important!
Ensure that the
Oracle FS System administrator that use has sufficient permissions to perform all tasks in the request. See the
Oracle Flash Storage System CLI Reference on the
Oracle Help Center (www.oracle.com/goto/FSStorage/docs) if you are not familiar with the FSCLI permissions.
The Oracle FS System performs a Base64 decode to extract the user ID and password and then authenticates permission before performing the requested action. The supported user IDs are any default IDs supported by the Oracle FS System as well as any IDs created by an Oracle FS System administrator.
The following is a basic authentication example:
