ColdFusion API Manager 2016 Update 1

JavaScript connector support

You can write JavaScript to connect to any database and authenticate users, fetch users, and perform other tasks.

For more information, see JavaScript connector.

Token-based authentication support

In this update, we have added token-based authentication support for Portal and Administrator API's.

• A token is passed with the username and password in JSON. This results in the same response as the login call, except there is an additional field in the response JSON called token. No cookies are sent as part of the response. For example,  http (s)://<IP>:<Port>/amp/portal/login/token (For login to admin, change to /admin instead of /portal). The request is of POST type with the username and password in body as JSON format.

• Log out to revoke the token acquired during the API call. For example, http (s)://<IP><Port>/amp/portal/login/token/revoke?token=<Token that you’ve received from the 1^st step>. (For login to admin, change to /admin instead of /portal)

• The token is always passed to the API in Authorization Header value as Bearer <Token>. For example, Authorization: Bearer <Token>

Swagger import options

There are two new ways of importing REST resources based on Swagger specifications. They are:

1. Using the specification text
2. Importing the specification from any location
