Tenant manager REST APIs: Authentication using OAuth 2.0 tokens

HCL Universal Orchestrator supports authentication via OAuth 2.0 tokens to ensure secure access to the tenant manager APIs. You can create these tokens using the OpenID Connect (OIDC) server configured for the UnO environment.

You can interact with the Tenant Manager REST APIs in one of two ways:
  1. Logging into the tenant manager console

    Configure the OIDC server for the deployment and then update the related attributes in the values.yaml file (see Enable and configure multitenancy). Then, when you log into the tenant manager console, the system automatically handles the authentication for the tenant manager REST APIs.

  2. Generating and using OAuth 2.0 tokens

    To authorize access to the tenant manager REST APIs without accessing the tenant manager console, generate a token from the OIDC server. The exact steps for this process depend on the specific OIDC server you are using. You can then use the generated token to authorize the login for the tenant manager REST APIs.
