Authentication is required for using the Openstack REST APIs with IDrive® Compute. You need to send a request to the Identity API service endpoint ( https://identity.api.idrivecompute.io/v3 ) with valid application credentials to get an authentication token. The API provides a token in a response header named as x-auth-token.

Each token is valid only for a given time, and a new token needs to be retrieved upon its expiration.  The token must be secured at all times to avoid misuse as it substitutes your credentials.

Authentication Example

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -X POST \
    -d "{
      "auth": {
        "identity": {
          "methods": [
            "application_credential"
          ],
          "application_credential": {
            "id": "4e1751690e1adfefds15fdad2a6e5f47",
            "secret": "tlYumLN-10_IpUMhM9h_D1k3_CGMYZIKyXEFlwTiYs_uvlzQ8nQ"
          }
        }
      }
    }"\

All requests must use HTTPS encryption for security and unauthenticated API requests will fail.
