Legacy REST Web Services

The legacy RESTful Web Services are in this version part of the product solely due to the backwards compatibility. They are expected to be removed in following versions. Any new client implementations shall be based on the other RESTful Web Services.

The legacy RESTful Web Services provides the following capabilities:

Deployment

The Legacy REST Web Service functionality is provided based on the Legacy REST web application. The application has to have its configuration and be deployed on the DirX Access Server. Multiple Legacy REST applications can coexist on DirX Access Server, therefore configuration includes PortAssignment and context path.

The {legacy_rest_web_application_location} of the Legacy REST web application is constructed from the hostname of the DirX Access Server, the port of the assigned PortAssignment configuration object and the web application context path.

Authorization

Considering the capabilities of the Legacy REST Web Service, the interface should be protected and at least as secure as DirX Access Manager.

Implementation Details

The Legacy RESTful Web Service is implemented according to the OData4 protocol.
