Hi, Haven't found anything in searching for references, but I was wondering if RT currently has support for user authentication in the REST API using API keys/tokens. If not, is this something that has been discussed for future support?
We maintain an RT setup where we authenticate via a corporate LDAP (via ExternalAuth) and users authenticate to RT using their corp credentials. We'd like to do some utility scripting against the API and would be far more comfortable using a key/token that is useful only for the purposes of interfacing with RT. This would prevent unintentional unsafe handling of some users' credentials that might want to hardcode them in scripts/tools. Also an API key can somewhat simplify the process of interacting over sessions of multiple requests, replacing auth exchange and cookie stashing with a more stateless mechanism. -- Darren Spruell [email protected]
