PowerScale OneFS API Reference

OneFS API authentication

You can authenticate to OneFS API resource URIs by establishing a session with a cookie or through HTTP Basic Authentication. You can only authenticate to resources for which you have privileges.

You can establish a session by creating a session cookie through the session resource. HTTP Basic Authentication requires more system processing resources and is slower than authentication with a session cookie. If you want to initiate multiple requests over a time, it is recommended that you create a session cookie.
