The Client Authentication REST API lives at /api/v1/client/login/.
The Authentication endpoint is to authenticate a user to the Infiniti REST Application Programming Interface. In other words, it is used to determine a user's identity and what permissions a user has for a set of Infiniti protected resources. No other method can be called to make requests to Infiniti protected resources without a successfully requesting and obtaining a Bearer Token (Session Token) via this endpoint.
There are several options for authenticating with the Infiniti REST API. The basic choice boils down to:
- Forms Authentication.
- Windows Authentication.
- SAML Authentication.
- Cookie Authentication.
Note
The credentials passed to the method when using the Authentication endpoint must match the authentication type used by the Intelledox.
Once the Bearer Token (Session Token) is obtained via making a request to this endpoint, when you are making requests to Infiniti protected resources, you must send this token in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer <Token>
