Authentication

Oracle Business Process Management 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 creating, managing, and deleting Oracle Business Process Management resources.

You access the Oracle Business Process Management REST 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 Business Process Management 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 Business Process Management account (for example, jstein and welcome1) using the -u cURL option.

The following example cURL command posts a comment to the task with the ID 123456:

curl -u jstein:welcome1
 -H "Content-Type:application/json"
 -H "Accept: application/json"
 -X POST
 -d '{"commentStr":"add test Comment"}'
