Authenticate an Orange Logic user
Authentication endpoints allow you to log yourself or another user in to your organization's Orange Logic instance and retrieve tokens that can be used to authenticate future API calls.
Note
Authentication tokens are valid for only one server. Therefore, when your Orange Logic site switches from one server to another, you must reauthenticate to continue running APIs. A single environment might rely on multiple servers, and an authentication token is valid for only one site and one server.
The Authentication API endpoints include:
- Authenticate: Authenticate a user by providing client credentials, which are used to authenticate via OAuth2.0. (Recommended)
- Get bearer token: Retrieve an Orange Logic user’s authentication token.
- Set activation: Turn the authentication status of a user’s bearer token on or off.
- User login: Enter a username or password to log in to the Orange Logic platform. (Warning: This is the least secure authentication method.)
Note
To use Authentication APIs, you must have the Can manage bearer authentication activation state via API and Can get contact bearer token via API Security Functions.
