Authentication
For authentication purposes, the following parameters can be appended to each of the JSON API URL:
- j_username
- j_password
- hash
Example:
Assuming the username and password required is "user1" and "password1" respectively, the following URL can be used:
/web/json/workflow/assignment/list/pending?j_username=user1&j_password=password1
or using hashed password
/web/json/workflow/assignment/list/pending?j_username=user1&hash=D012B772672A55A0B561EAA53CA7734E
Master Login Username and Password
Under the System Settings > General Setting, you are able to set a Master Login Username and Master Login Password. By setting these values, a different user can be specified by passing in the loginAs parameter.
Assuming the master login username and master login password is "master" and "master" respectively, the following URL can be used to represent the user "user1":
/web/json/workflow/assignment/list/pending?j_username=master&j_password=master&loginAs=user1
There's a hash key for the combination of Master Login User and Master Login Password configured. By using this hash (assuming it's "hashKey"), API authentication can be done without exposing the Master Login Password.
/web/json/workflow/assignment/list/pending?j_username=master&hash=hashKey&loginAs=user1
