OneFS API architecture

When you send an HTTP request through the OneFS API, your request is sent to an Apache server. The Apache server verifies your username and password. The credentials are verified either through HTTP Basic Authentication for single requests or through an established session to a single node for multiple requests.

After the user account is authenticated, the role-based access control (RBAC) verifies the privileges that are associated with the user account that generated the request. If the user account has the required privileges, the request enables access to files and directories on the cluster or to system configuration libraries, as per the resource URL provided in the request.
