Credentials can be accessed and modified through this API using four services: GET, POST, PUT, and PATCH. These four services allow for the retrieval, creation, complete update, and partial update of credentials.

Authentication - Use Basic Authentication for this API.

GET

There are two implementations of GET. One will find a Credential with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the Credential. The other will find a list of Credentials matching the parameters supplied to it.

GET by ID

This GET service will find a Credential with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the object.

API URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v2/administration/security/credential/{Id}

Request

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Id	Yes	URL	URL parameter for the Id which is used to find and return a Credential

Response Codes

HTTP Code	Description
200	Credential was found and returned
400	Bad request
401	Authentication failure
403	Authorization failure (no access to resource)
404	Credential not found
500	Unexpected internal server error

Example

If we a Credential in our database with an Id of 11004 and the following attributes

Credential - 11004

{
	"credentialId": 11004,
    "versionNumber": 1,
    "credentialName": "GET Example Name",
    "isActive": true,
    "credentialScope": "ENVINST",
    "credentialStoreId": 11000,
    "credentialInputs": [
        {
            "versionNumber":1,
            "inputValue": "TestPassword",
            "credentialStoreInputDefId": 12000
        }
    ]
}

When we run a GET request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v2/administration/security/credential/11004

The GET request would return the following JSON Credential object

Credential GET Return JSON

{
	"credentialId": 11004,
    "versionNumber": 1,
    "credentialName": "GET Example Name",
    "isActive": true,
    "credentialScope": "ENVINST",
    "credentialStoreId": 11000,
    "credentialInputs": [
        {
            "versionNumber":1,
            "inputValue": "TestPassword",
            "credentialStoreInputDefId": 12000
        }
    ]
}

GET by Query Parameters

This GET service will return a list of Credentials in the form of JSON objects based on the query parameters credentialId, credentialName, credentialScope, and credentialStoreId. Credentials are only returned if they match ALL of the specified query parameters. If no query parameters are given, this request will return the entire list of Credentials. The credentialName parameter returns Credentials that contain the specified parameter. The other parameters must be equal to the Credentials.

API URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v2/administration/security/credential?

Append the following character sequences to the above URL to specify Query parameters.

Use '&' between successive query parameters:

credentialId={credentialId}

credentialName={credentialName}

credentialScope={credentialScope}

credentialStoreId={credentialStoreId}

Examples:

To Specify the NAME parameter only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v2/administration/security/credential?credentialName={credentialName}

To Specify the NAME AND SCOPE parameters:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v2/administration/security/credential?credentialName={credentialName}&credentialScope={credentialScope}

To Specify the name, SCOPE, AND CREDENTIAL STORE ID parameters:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v2/administration/security/credential?credentialName={credentialName}&credentialScope={credentialScope}&credentialStoreId={credentialStoreId}

The query parameters are not case sensitive. Searching by credentialName=NAME is the same as searching by credentialName=name.

Example

If we had an Credential in our database with an Id of 11104 and had the following attributes

Current Credential

{
	"credentialId": 11004,
    "versionNumber": 1,
    "credentialName": "PUT Example Name",
    "isActive": true,
    "credentialScope": "ENVINST",
    "credentialStoreId": 11000,
    "credentialInputs": [
         {
			"credentialId": 11004,
			"updatedBy": "fdadmin",
			"updatedOn": "2021-09-09T12:59:34.821+0000",
			"createdBy": "fdadmin",
			"createdOn": "2021-09-09T12:59:34.821+0000",
			"isEncrypted": true,
            "versionNumber":1,
            "inputValue": "*****",
            "credentialStoreInputDefId": 12000,
			"credentialInputId": 284872
        }
    ]
}

When we run a PUT request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v2/administration/security/credential/11104

And the PUT request receives the following JSON Credential object,

Sample JSON Input

{
    "credentialName": "PUT Example Name",
    "isActive": true,
    "credentialScope": "INST",
    "credentialStoreId": 12000,
    "credentialInputs": [
        {
            "inputValue": "TestPassword1234",
            "credentialStoreInputDefId": 12000
        },
		{
            "inputValue": "TestPass1999",
            "credentialStoreInputDefId": 12010
        }
    ]
}

The PUT request would then update the Credential with Id 11104 and return the following JSON Credential object.

Sample JSON Output

{
	"credentialId": 11004,
    "versionNumber": 1,
    "credentialName": "PUT Example Name",
    "isActive": true,
    "credentialScope": "INST",
    "credentialStoreId": 12000,
    "credentialInputs": [
         {
			"credentialId": 11004,
			"updatedBy": "fdadmin",
			"updatedOn": "2021-09-10T12:59:34.821+0000",
			"createdBy": "fdadmin",
			"createdOn": "2021-09-10T12:59:34.821+0000",
			"isEncrypted": true,
            "versionNumber":1,
            "inputValue": "*****",
            "credentialStoreInputDefId": 12000,
			"credentialInputId": 24895
        },
		 {
			"credentialId": 11004,
			"updatedBy": "fdadmin",
			"updatedOn": "2021-09-10T12:59:34.821+0000",
			"createdBy": "fdadmin",
			"createdOn": "2021-09-10T12:59:34.821+0000",
			"isEncrypted": true,
            "versionNumber":1,
            "inputValue": "*****",
            "credentialStoreInputDefId": 12010,
			"credentialInputId": 284872
        }
    ]
}

PATCH

This PATCH service will update the information of the Credential of the specified Id with the non-null parameters of the JSON. The parameters that are null or missing will not be changed in the Credential.

API URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v2/administration/security/credential/{credentialId}

The only required attribute is the Credential Id in the URL.

Request

Attributes	Type	Required	Description
credentialId	URL	Yes	URL parameter for the Id which is used to find and update a Credential.
credentialName	String	No	Name of Credential.
isActive	Boolean	No	Whether or not this Credential is active.
credentialScope	String	No	Scope of the Credential. Possible values are ENDPOINT, INST, or ENVINST. Scope cannot be updated with a PATCH request as it is locked in after creation.
credentialStoreId	Long	No	The unique id of the associated Credential Store. Credential store id cannot be updated with a PATCH request as it is locked in after creation.
credentialInputs	List<CredentialInputDataObject>	No	List of the Credential Input Data Objects that are associated with this Credential. If input Credential Input Data Object(s) is not already associated, it will be associated to Credential but existing Data Object assignment that are not in PATCH request will not be unassigned. i.e. input list is considered as append to existing assignments.

CredentialInputDataObject can include the following attributes:

Attributes	Type	Required	Description
inputValue	Depends on input	Yes	Value for credential input
credentialStoreInputDefId	Long	Yes	Id of input definition. Can be found using the Credential Store Provider API.

Response Codes

HTTP Code	Description
200	Credential was found and patched
400	Bad request
401	Authentication failure
403	Authorization failure (no access to resource)
404	Credential not found
500	Unexpected internal server error

Example

If we had a Credential in our database with an Id of 11104 and had the following attributes

Current Credential

{
	"credentialId": 11004,
    "versionNumber": 1,
    "credentialName": "PUT Example Name",
    "isActive": true,
    "credentialScope": "INST",
    "credentialStoreId": 11000,
    "credentialInputs": [
         {
			"credentialId": 11004,
			"updatedBy": "fdadmin",
			"updatedOn": "2021-09-09T12:59:34.821+0000",
			"createdBy": "fdadmin",
			"createdOn": "2021-09-09T12:59:34.821+0000",
			"isEncrypted": true,
            "versionNumber":1,
            "inputValue": "*****",
            "credentialStoreInputDefId": 12000,
			"credentialInputId": 284895
        }
    ]
}

When we run a PATCH request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v2/administration/security/credential/11104

And the PATCH request receives the following JSON Credential object,

Current Credential

{
    "credentialScope": "INST",
    "credentialInputs": [
        {
            "versionNumber":1,
            "inputValue": "TestPass1999",
            "credentialStoreInputDefId": 12010
        }
    ]
}

The PATCH request would then update the Credential with Id 11104 and return the following JSON Credential object.

Only the fields present in the PATCH JSON will modify the original JSON Credential object. All other fields will remain unchanged.

Sample JSON Output

{
	"credentialId": 11004,
    "versionNumber": 1,
    "credentialName": "PUT Example Name",
    "isActive": true,
    "credentialScope": "INST",
    "credentialStoreId": 11000,
    "credentialInputs": [
         {
			"credentialId": 11004,
			"updatedBy": "fdadmin",
			"updatedOn": "2021-09-09T12:59:34.821+0000",
			"createdBy": "fdadmin",
			"createdOn": "2021-09-09T12:59:34.821+0000",
			"isEncrypted": true,
            "versionNumber":1,
            "inputValue": "*****",
            "credentialStoreInputDefId": 12000,
			"credentialInputId": 284895
        },
		 {
			"credentialId": 11004,
			"updatedBy": "fdadmin",
			"updatedOn": "2021-09-10T12:59:34.821+0000",
			"createdBy": "fdadmin",
