Hi,
I need another guidance in Rest api for authenticating and authorizing
the user.
eg.. 1. is there any rest api through which user name and password
will be sent in request and in response status of authentication will
be sent??
2. Another api for authorization??
if you can provide me any documentation for this it will be useful.
Actually i want to connect from nodejs to Apache syncope.,if you need
any further information let me know.
Hi,
first of all, please bare in mind that Syncope is mainly a provisioning
engine, not actually an access manager, like as CAS [1], for example.
This means you cannot easily use Syncope for implementing SSO or to
centralize the authorization of a set of external applications: Syncope
defines its own entitlements [2], but they are *exclusively* for
internal usage.
Having said that, you can look at [3] for REST reference (I assume you
are on 1.1.X, right?): the simplest call for your requirements is
GET /auth/entitlements.json (if using Spring MVC)
GET /entitlements/own.json (if using CXF)
This call is protected by Basic Authentication, so if authentication is
failing, an Exception will be raised.
When successful, instead, a list of owned entitlements will be returned.
