Authorization Header Elements

The following table lists the elements that you need to pass in the call header for authorization:

Element

Mandatory

Description

authToken

Yes

The authentication token that is returned after successful user verification. This token indicates that the user is already authenticated, and therefore eliminates the need for user credentials for successive authentication attempts.

By default, the authentication token is valid for one day, after which you need to authenticate again.

Note: You can set any one of the following elements.

targetorg

No

Specifies the organization for which the calling application must authorize before performing any operation.

Note: If you want to enable authorization for more than one organization, then accordingly repeat this entry for every organization.

targetAllOrgs

No

Specifies whether authorization is required to perform operations on all organizations. Set the value of this element to TRUE to enable authorization for all organizations.

globalEntity

No

Specifies whether authorization is required to perform global configurations. Set this value to TRUE if you want to enable authorization for the global configuration operations such as, fetching AuthMinder attributes for users and fetching UDS attributes.
