Interaction via the REST API#

To invoke the REST services of Blitz Identity Provider, you must configure an application that will act as a client system for the REST services. To do this, register a new application in Applications section.

Then go to the application settings, specify REST as the connection protocol and fill in the following data:

  • Password - will be used during HTTP Basic authentication, as login - the client system identifier; if the parameter is not set, HTTP Basic authentication will not be possible for this client system;

  • Permissible CN - list of values of CN attribute of the certificate used in TLS authentication; if no parameters are set, TLS authentication will not be possible for this client system.

If the application is not configured with a REST connection protocol, then it will not be able to use the REST APIs of Blitz Identity Provider server that are secured by HTTP Basic Authorization.
