SafeNet Trusted Access (STA) includes the following APIs:

• REST API for STA: Provides programmatic access to management and logging functions of STA, including account information, application management, user and group management.

• SCIM API for STA: Includes inbound REST endpoints for the SCIM 2.0 model. You can connect a user repository that supports outbound SCIM directly to STA, and use the SCIM protocol to provision your users into STA.

• WSDL BSIDCA API: Provides SOAP-based web API methods for automating account, token, and user management functions for STA and SafeNet Authentication Service Private Cloud Edition (SAS PCE).

REST and SCIM APIs for STA

To use the REST and SCIM APIs for STA, you need the following:

• API key for authentication

• Endpoint URL to access the APIs

• Tenant code for your virtual server or account

• API documentation that describes the endpoints, methods, requests, and responses

Get an API key

1. On the STA Access Management console, select Settings > API Keys.

   

2. Generate an API key.

Endpoint URL

The endpoint URL is the entry point to all API calls.

You can find the endpoint URL on the STA Access Management console in Settings > API Keys.

• To copy the endpoint URL and use it to configure your custom API client, select the Copy to clipboard icon .

Tenant code

The tenant code is the unique identifier for a virtual server or account. To use the STA APIs, you need to provide your tenant code with each request, which ensures that each virtual server can access only their data.

The tenant code consists of 10 alphanumeric characters (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789), such as Q41RKXHPWU.

• On the API Keys page, find your tenant code in the Endpoint URL:

  

You can also find your tenant code in the self-service and user portal URLs:

• On the STA Token Management console, you can find the tenant code in Self-Service > Configuring Self-Service > Self-Service Policy > Self-Service Unique URL.

  

• On the STA Access Management console, find the tenant code in the URL for the user portal application in Applications > User Portal.
