IBM Security Secret Server: REST Web Service APIs

How To


Summary

The IBM Security Secret Server (ISSS) REST API guides are version specific. In fact, they are automatically generated when an ISSS version is created. Thus, to ensure you have the correct guides for your ISSS version, it is best (but not required) to access the documentation from that version of ISSS.

Objective

Accessing the Guides

To access the guides:

1. For ISSS versions 10.5 and later with the new user interface, click the   or ? icons in the top right of the dashboard and click Secret Server REST API Guide. The Secret Server REST API Guide page appears.

2. On the Secret Server REST API page of your instance, click the link for one of the three guides:
 
  • Documentation for REST API using bearer token authentication: Hyperlinked documentation for REST API access using token authentication.
  • Documentation for token authentication: Instructions for getting an authentication token.
  • Documentation for REST API using Windows integrated authentication: Hyperlinked documentation for REST API access using Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA).
