AuthMinder Web Services Features

This section discusses the salient features of AuthMinder Web services.

Web Services Authentication and Authorization
AuthMinder Web services are protected from rogue requests by enabling authentication and authorization for all incoming requests. As a result, all requests to AuthMinder Web services are authenticated for valid credentials. After successful authentication, all requests are then validated for appropriate privileges to access the Web services. See chapter, "Managing Web Services Security" for more information.

This feature is enabled using the Enable Authentication and Authorization For Web Services page of Administration Console. See chapter, "Getting Started" in CA AuthMinder Administration Guide for more information.
Handling Multiple Operations Using Single Function
You can perform credential lifecycle operations on different credentials simultaneously. For example, you can create ArcotID PKI, Question and Answer, and One-Time Password credentials simultaneously using a single CreateCredential operation.
Support for Additional Parameters
In addition to the mandatory inputs, the Web services also accept additional input that can be passed as a name-value pair. This input can include information such as locale, calling application details, or profile.
