This document outlines how to use the Legacy authentication method. This method applies to all Armor API's (v2 and Legacy).

Before you begin:

• The base URL is https://api.armor.com.

• This endpoint requires TLS 1.2+.

• The API uses standard OAuth authentication.

• If you intend to use your account as an API service account, please contact Armor Support to update the MFA setting on the account.

• If your Armor Management Portal (AMP) account requires multi-factor authentication (MFA), you should configure your HTTP client to have a timeout that allows sufficient time to enter the MFA response.
  
  

POST /auth/authorize
 
{
  "username": "user@domain.com",
  "password": "password123%^&"
}

1. { "redirect_uri": null, "code": "<<base64-hash>>", "success": true }

   
   

2. Redeem the authorization code (code) to retrieve the access token. You must redeem this code within two minutes of the previous request. Review the following example:
   
   

   Code Block

1. POST /auth/token { "code":"<<base64-hash>>", "grant_type":"authorization_code" }

   
   

2. If the request is successful, you will receive

1. the access token (access_token). Review the following example:
   
   

   Code Block

1. { "access_token": "<<32-bit-uuid>>", "id_token": "<<base64-hash>>", "expires_in": 15, "token_type": "Bearer" }

   
   

2. Enter the access token (access_token) to complete the authentication process. Review the following example:
   
   

   Code Block

1. Authorization: FH-AUTH <<access_token>>

   
   

2. (Optional) The access token expires every 15 minutes. If you want to extend the session, then you can request a new access token before the current access token expires. In this example, you do not need to authenticate again with the new access token. Review the following example:
   
   

   Code Block

1. POST /auth/token/reissue { "token": "<<32-bit-uuid>>" }

   
   

2. (Optional) If the request is successful, you will receive

1. a new access token without the ID token. Review the following example:
   
   

   Code Block

1. { "access_token": "<<32-bit-uuid>>", "id_token": null, "expires_in": 15, "token_type": "Bearer" }

   
   

2. (Optional)

1. If you have multiple accounts in AMP, you may want to specify the account to configure. Enter the integer for the account ID. Review the following example:
   
   

   Code Block

1. X-Account-Context: <<int>>

   
   

   Note
   There are two ways to retrieve your account ID: Via the command line: 1.

1. In the command line, enter the GET /me command. Via AMP: 1.

1. Access the Armor Management Portal (AMP). 2. On the left-side navigation,

1. click Account.

1. 3. Copy the number

1. in Account Number.

1. 4. In the command line, for X-Account-Context, enter the Account Number.
