Optima uses an authentication mechanism based on URLs. Depending on the specific system configuration, a URL (and thus an API endpoint) can be:
- Restricted to a session after login
- Restricted to a specific IP address or restricted to a range of IP addresses
- Unrestricted.
Authentication is handled by OptimaWSI (→ Optima authentication system).
To access a restricted endpoint:
- Run → Login.
- Get the session identifier sessionId as a result.
- Use the identifier to have access through session=sessionId as a HTTP cookie.
