Introduction

This is the documentation of how to obtain an authentication token for the ws.di.no domain.

In order to POST data into the API use a JSON object without name.

You should also set the Content-Type header to "application/json".

A request will look like this:

Curl request

curl https://ws.di.no/ws/json/auth/v-2/login
  -H "Content-Type:application/json"
  -d "{\"username\": \"myname\",
       \"password\": \"secret\" }"

Field	Description	Example	Data type	Count
username	The username that was provided by the DI service desk	myName	String	1
password	The password that was provided by the DI service desk	secret!23	String	1

The endpoint replies with a response object in JSON format, containing the following data

Field	Description	Example	Data type	Count
token	The JWT token to be used in subsequent requests	aVeryLongString	String	1

The security token should be placed in the Authorization header like this:

"Authorization: Bearer <token>"

The token is valid for 30 minutes and is a json web token ( https://jwt.io/ ) but can be handled as a plain string on the client side.

Version 2 returns a valid JSON object as opposed to version 1 which just returned the token as a string.
