Clients that want to consume the web service methods provided by the Launcher REST Gateway first have to authenticate themselves using the open web method. This authentication uses Active Directory.
Once the user is authenticated to the Launcher REST Gateway after calling the open method, they will receive a client id, allowing them to call the other web service methods.
The Launcher can also requires LDAP authentication (if configuration is done), so the client will receive a message saying “LDAP authentication required” when calling the other service methods.
In order to authenticate with the Launcher Server, the client must call the ldapauth web method after calling the open method.
More details, including how to configure the authentication method of the REST Gateway, are in the Configuration section.
