Authentication

Oracle Managed File Transfer uses a certificate authority (CA) certificate, issued by Verisign, to enable clients to connect securely to the server.

Note:

Ensure that you have the appropriate log-in credentials for triggering a source in Oracle Managed File Transfer.

You access the Oracle Managed File Transfer REST resources over HTTPS and must provide the following information for authentication:

An SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate file or bundle to authenticate against the Verisign CA certificate.
User name and password for your Oracle Managed File Transfer account.

For example, to authenticate using cURL:

Set the cURL environment variable, CURL_CA_BUNDLE, to the location of your local CA certificate bundle. For information about CA certificate verification using cURL, see: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html.
Pass the user name and password for your Oracle Managed File Transfer account (for example, jsmith and superstrongpassword) using the -u cURL option.

The following example cURL command returns detailed information for the instances created by an event with an eventSessionId of 799AE14A-9E37-42B9-9789-8F005039953E:

curl -u jsmith:welcome1
 -H "Content-Type:application/json"
 -H "Accept: application/json"
 -X GET http://example.com/mftapp/rest/v1/events/799AE14A-9E37-42B9-9789-8F005039953E/instances?inDetail=true
