REST API response headers
These response headers are returned for all of the Sterling Control Center REST APIs.
| Response | Required or Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|
| JSESSIONID | Required | After successfully authenticating, the server will return a cookie named JSESSIONID. Include the JSESSIONID with subsequent REST API calls that are part of the same user session. If the JSESSIONID is not included, a new user session is created on server side for each new incoming REST API call, which causes more server-side resources to be consumed. For a more secure REST API call, you can enable secure connection for the web container in order for the API call to work through HTTPS. |
| Content-Type | Yes | Defines the content-type of the API session. Defaults to json if not defined. Possible values are application/json and application/xml. |
