Web API calls Authentication in WSO2 IS

Question

I have tried searching for samples in implementing authentication using WSO2 Identity Server for web API calls residing in other servers but cant seem to find one. I can only find authentications on WSO2 IS API calls. Can you refer some links for examples or tutorials

Answer 1

You can get all the admin APIs using following way.

1. Start the server using -DosgiConsole flag, i.e. ./wso2server.sh -DosgiConsole or ./wso2server.bat -DosgiConosle

2. Then after the server start you will get the osgi console. Enter listAdminServices and you will get the list. ex:

osgi> listAdminServices
Admin services deployed on this server:

1. ProvisioningAdminService, ProvisioningAdminService, https://10.150.3.140:9443/services/ProvisioningAdminService/

All the commands such as listAdminServices are listed by typing help from the osgi console.

By default, these admin APIs are hides, you have to enable them. To do that, change <ESB_HOME>/repository/conf/carbon.xml file.

<!-- If this parameter is set, the ?wsdl on an admin service will not give the admin service wsdl. -->
<HideAdminServiceWSDLs>false</HideAdminServiceWSDLs>

Note: All servers expose Web Service APIs which can be used for to gain access to back end functionality.
