You can use the API tokenization feature (Postman and Javascript) in the Armor Management Portal (AMP) to create an API key. This key will help you log into the Armor API system.
Step 1: Create an API key
Step 2: Authenticate into the Armor API system
In your Postman application, create a new GET request with the following endpoint: https://api.armor.com/roles
Click Headers.
Under Key, select Authorization.
In Value, enter {{hmacAuthHeader}}.
Under Key, select Content-Type.
In Value, enter application/json.
Click Pre-request Script.
Enter the script below with the following updated parameters:
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
APP_ID | Enter the Key ID generated from AMP. In the example below, replace <use the api key id> with your key ID. |
SECRET_KEY | Enter the Secret Key generated from AMP. In the example below, replace <use the secret key> with your secret key. |
nonce | Enter a unique ID.
|
timestamp | Enter a Unix time stamp within 5 minutes of the current time. |
For all v2 API's, the request body should be empty.
function getPath(url) {
var pathRegex = /.+?\:\/\/.+?(\/.+?)(?:#|\?|$)/;
var result = url.match(pathRegex);
return result && result.length > 1 ? result[1] : '';
}
function getQueryString(url) {
var arrSplit = url.split('?');
return arrSplit.length > 1 ? url.substring(url.indexOf('?')+1) : '';
}
function getAuthHeader(httpMethod, requestUrl, requestBody) {
*var APP_ID = '<use the api key id>';*
*var SECRET_KEY = '<use the secret key>';*
var AUTH_TYPE = 'ARMOR-PSK';
var requestPath = getPath(requestUrl).replace('https', 'http');
var queryString = getQueryString(requestUrl);
if (httpMethod == 'GET' || !requestBody) {
requestBody = '';
} else {
requestBody = requestBody.toString();
requestBody = CryptoJS.enc.Base64.stringify(CryptoJS.SHA512(requestBody));
}
var timestamp = Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000);
var nonce = timestamp;
var requestData = [APP_ID, httpMethod, requestPath, nonce, timestamp, requestBody].join("");
var mac = CryptoJS.HmacSHA512(requestData, SECRET_KEY);
var signature = CryptoJS.enc.Base64.stringify(mac);
var authHeader = AUTH_TYPE + ' ' + APP_ID + ':' + signature + ':' + nonce + ':' + timestamp;
return authHeader;
}
postman.setEnvironmentVariable('hmacAuthHeader', getAuthHeader(request['method'], request['url'], request['data']));
