REST Security

Security uses multiple authentication mechanisms including a custom approach that uses shared secret keys.

The product supports the following security authentication schemes:

• REST web services secret key authentication (uses SSL and HMAC for login)
• REST basic authentication (clear text encoded username/password)
• REST BOPSID authentication (validates CA SDM BOPSIDs)
• External (CA EEM) artifact authentication (CA EEM artifact token)
