All access to the published EcoSys Web Service APIs requires an FMLicense.properties file with API feature enabled. With this license file, the user can be granted API access in the Maintain Users and Security screen by enabling ‘API Access’ for the desired user account.
After validation, these credentials will be used to establish a login session with the application. This login session is typically tracked through a session cookie. However, this cookie is not required, and the credentials can be provided for each individual invocation of the API in a stateless fashion.
Login sessions through the API will replace interactive sessions in the same way that subsequent interactive sessions do. Concurrent access to the API and interactive sessions is not supported unless initiated from the same browser session.
Access to the web service descriptor links for XSD, WADL, and WSDL do not require authentication. However, authentication is required to view the list of published web service APIs, and for any access to object data or event triggers.
