REST services

LL::NG portal is a REST server that gives access to configuration, session and also authentication.

The authentication service is always available with REST, you just need to send credentials on portal URL. But by default, the portal is protected by one time tokens to prevent CSRF. You must disable them or set a rule (configuration parameter requireToken) so token will not be required for REST requests, for example:

$env->{HTTP_ACCEPT} !~ m:application/json:

Request parameters:

• Endpoint: /
• Method: POST
• Request headers:
  • Accept: application/json
• POST data:
  • user: user login
  • password: user password
  • xxx: optional parameters, like lmAuth if your portal uses Choice or spoofId to impersonate.

The JSON response fields are:

• result: authentication result, 0 if it fails, 1 if it succeed
• error: error code, the corresponding error can be found in Lemonldap::NG::Portal::Main::Constants
• id: if authentication succeed, the session id is returned in this field

• Request with curl:

curl -H "Accept: application/json" -d user=rtyler -d password=rtyler http://auth.example.com/ | json_pp

• Response for bad authentication:

{
    "result" : 0,
    "error" : 5
}

• Response for good authentication:

{
    "result" : 1,
    "error" : "0",
    "id" : "b048bf87ca401da1d89419813e3acf466d5e4465fe3a1f7adfd8240bd161bde2"
}

REST functions for sessions are protected by Web Server, you can change this in portal configuration.

See REST session backend documentation for more.

REST functions for configuration are protected by Web Server, you can change this in portal configuration.
