All the REST services are secured by mandating an authentication token as one of the parameters. The application facilities the generation of these JWT tokens by exposing an endpoint, uta/token/generate-token. These tokens are generated using native JWT Support and once they are obtained, they need to be a part of any incoming requests to these rest services. Below is a sample command to generate an authentication token based on user credentials.

curl -X POST -k -F 'username=<login username>' -F 'password=<login password>' 'https:/

/<hostname>:<port>/uta/token/generate-token -H 'authorization: Basic

dXRhOnV0YXBhc3M= ' -H 'cache-control: no-cache' -H 'content-type: multipart/formdata'

Parameters

<login username>: Valid OUTA application user's username

<login password>: OUTA application user's password

<hostname>: OUTA Application host name

<port>: OUTA application port

Sample Response

{"token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJsb2NhbGhvc3QiLCJzY29wZXMiOiJST0xFX0FkbWluaXN0cmF0b3IiLCJpYXQiOjE2MjAwMzQ1NjMsImV4cCI6MTYyMDA1MjU2M30.2SrKiZPslj6Ba2S8zqJm8YakjaFdZfhIhfuXcEsSE-Q"}
