REST API Requirements

To use the API and view the API documentation, you need the following:

1. Legacy Orchestrator appliance
• If a Legacy Orchestrator appliance is available for development purposes, you will need its IP address and a user account. Default administrator account: admin, 2admin$admin
2. Legacy Orchestrator user account with multiple roles
A Legacy Orchestrator user can have multiple roles. To access the Legacy Orchestrator web interface and use the API, you need a user account with at least two roles.
• ROLE_WS: Has permission to use Web Services (WS). This is the role required to use the REST API in your client applications. At least one other role is also required.
• ROLE_Admin: Has permission to access all Legacy Orchestrator functionality (other than Web Services, the REST API, and the XML/https Export Interface). You need this role if you want to use all possible functionality in the Legacy Orchestrator web interface.
• Other roles: Your client application may not need full administrator permissions. You may want to create an account with the ROLE_WS and another role that has more limited permissions. For more information about user roles, see "Managing User Accounts".
