Falcon - RESTful Resources

RESTful Resources

Resource List

Authentication

When security is off (Pseudo/Simple), the authenticated user is the username specified in the user.name query parameter. If the user.name parameter is not set, the server may either set the authenticated user to a default web user, if there is any, or return an error response.

When security is on (kerberos), authentication is performed by Kerberos SPNEGO.

Below are examples using the curl command tool.

Authentication when security is off (Pseudo/Simple):

curl -i "http://<HOST>:<PORT>/<PATH>?[user.name=<USER>&]<PARAM>=..."

Authentication using Kerberos SPNEGO when security is on:

curl -i --negotiate -u : "http://<HOST>:<PORT>/<PATH>?<PARAM>=..."
