Issue/Introduction

Is it possible to do API queries based on API token, and not raw credentials for users?

Environment

All supported DX NetOps Spectrum releases

Resolution

You can use the following syntax as a reference:

curl "http://###.###.###.###/spectrum/restful/alarms" -H "Authorization: Basic c3BlY3RydW06c3BlY3RydW0="

 

Customers can generate the Basic Authorization token, for example, using this URL: https://www.debugbear.com/basic-auth-header-generator
