Authenticate

Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) uses a certificate authority (CA) certificate, issued by Verisign, to enable clients to connect securely to the server.

You access the OWSM REST resources over HTTP and you must provide the following information for authentication:

  • An SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate file or bundle to authenticate against the Verisign CA certificate.

  • Oracle WebLogic Server administrator user name and password.

  • The custom header <request-header>.

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 Oracle WebLogic Server administrator user name and password using the -u cURL option.

  • Pass the <request-header> custom request header using the -H cURL option.

The following provides an example cURL command:
curl -i -X GET -u <username>:<password> -H <request-header>:<value> https://<subdomain>.<domain>.com:<port>/<resource-path>
