Session Authentication - Connect REST API (1 Comment)

Topic by Haiden Taylor

Hello,

I am using the Connect REST API to demonstrate how we can display incident information, potentially on monitors around the office. 

I have been using simple get requests to obtain the relevant data, although these requests are authenticated with HTTP Basic Authentication (using a header). 

I note in the November 2016 API docs (http://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/servicecs_gs/CXSVC/Chunk116776251.html#SessionAuth-07BFC634) that the Connect Rest API now supports Session Authentication, although I haven't been able to find any information on how it is implemented.

Has anyone been successful? or are you able to assist with information broadly on how the request workflow might function (I may be able to implement from there)?

Thanks in advance!
