Authenticate

Oracle Unified Directory SCIM REST API uses a certificate authority (CA) certificate, issued by Verisign, to enable clients to connect securely to the server.

Note:

Ensure that you have the appropriate log-in credentials for administrating Oracle Unified Directory SCIM REST API instances. See Configuring Root Users.

You access the Oracle Unified Directory SCIM REST API resources over HTTPS and must provide the following information for authentication:

• An SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate file or bundle to authenticate against the Verisign CA certificate.

• User name and password for your Oracle Unified Directory SCIM REST API account.

For example, to authenticate using cURL:

• Set the cURL environment variable, CURL_CA_BUNDLE, to the location of your local CA certificate bundle. For information about CA certificate verification using cURL, see: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html.

• Pass the user name and password for your Oracle Unified Directory SCIM REST API account using the -u cURL option.

The following is the syntax for cURL command:

curl -i -X GET -u <username>:<password> -H <request-header>:<value> https://<subdomain>.<domain>.com:<port>/<resource-path>
