  2. Quick Start

Quick Start

Use the information in this topic to help you get started with Deployment Manager REST APIs.

Prerequisites

Prerequisite More Information

The installation of OIG

An OIG account

An OIG account is required to use the REST API.

Step 1: Obtain Account Information

From your account administrator, obtain the appropriate account credentials to enable you to use Deployment Manager REST APIs. Specifically, you need Username and password for your Oracle Identity Governance (OIG) account.

Step 1: Install cURL

The examples within this document use the cURL command-line tool to demonstrate how to access the Deployment Manager REST API.

To connect securely to the server, you must install a version of cURL that supports SSL and provide an SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate file or bundle to authenticate against the Verisign CA certificate. For more information about:

The following procedure demonstrates how to install cURL on a Windows 64 bit system.

  1. In your browser, navigate to the cURL home page at http://curl.haxx.se and click Download in the left navigation menu.

  2. On the cURL Releases and Downloads page, locate the SSL-enabled version of the cURL software that corresponds to your operating system, click the link to download the ZIP file, and install the software.

  3. Navigate to the cURL CA Certs page at http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html and download the ca-bundle.crt SSL CA certificate bundle in the folder where you installed cURL.

  4. Open a command window, navigate to the directory where you installed cURL, and set the cURL environment variable, CURL_CA_BUNDLE, to the location of an SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate bundle. For example:

    C:\curl> set CURL_CA_BUNDLE=ca-bundle.crt

You are now ready to send requests to OIG using cURL.
