Authentication and Authorization
Access to the IASystem™ Web API is restricted to clients that present a trusted X509 certificate. A client developer may send their client certificate file or subject to IASystem™ staff in order to set up the trust relationship.
The certificate subject is produced via the openssl tool:
openssl x509 –in /path/to/client.cert –noout –subject
The IASystem™ Web API is young and provides no authorization rules or role-based access. All clients may access all resources listed below. No “act-as” facility exists.
Endpoints and Data Partitions
Client data in IASystem™ is partitioned by campus. For multi-campus universities, this means multiple API end-points must be kept in mind when developing a client application. For example, several requests must be executed in order to search a multi-campus university’s data set.
Clients should use an API end-point that begins with this pattern:
https://[CampusSubdomain].iasystem.org/api/v1
Append the particular resource path as desired.
