The open service method establishes a connection with the Launcher server.
If « UseLdap=Yes » into the launcher.ini file, this method is also used to authenticate the REST Gateway web service client. He must include his username and password to authenticate (LDAP – Active Directory) his connection to the web service.
Here is an example of calling the open service method that connects to the Launcher server on localhost at port 6078 (which are also default values):
POST /launcher/open HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:9090
Content-Type: application/JSON
{ "open": { "server":"localhost",
"port":"6078", "username":"aura",
"password":"aura" } }
The above request is sent to the URL https://<IP address>:9090/launcher/open using the POST HTTP method.
