AuthenticationΒΆ

  1. Make a POST request to Security/Authentication with the following parameters:

    userName:

    <USERNAME>

    Example response:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Authentication>
   <Token>93d9f8d01cf5e08e2b238c353582aac0394530a310d17fc4459974aa44267c09c4b6bac1fd02c1aeb41ac94b3a024ae8a03cc72b6045c1d3d00dbeb0b2f51a70</Token>
</Authentication>

  2. Calculate an SHA-512 encrypted string using a combination of the token received in the previous step, the user name and the password. This example uses the jsSHA library:

    shaPassword = new jsSHA(password, "ASCII");
shaStep1 = new jsSHA(shaPassword.getHash("SHA-512", "HEX"), "ASCII");
shaStep2 = new jsSHA(loginToken, "ASCII");
HashedToken = shaStep1.getHMAC(username, "ASCII", "SHA-512", "HEX");
HashedToken = shaStep2.getHMAC(HashedToken, "ASCII", "SHA-512", "HEX");

    For example code in Python see Authentication using Python.

  3. Make a POST request to Security/Authentication/Login with the following parameters:

    Token:

    <TOKEN>

    HashedToken:

    <HASHED-TOKEN>

  4. Use the session token from the response as a header for POST requests or as a parameter for GET requests that need authorization.

    param:

    Authorization: <SESSION>
