API Authentication

Customer Collaboration Platform APIs that require authentication are grouped under ccp-webapp. The Customer Collaboration Platform public APIs that do not require authentication are grouped under ccp.

The username and password credentials that were configured for the administrator during installation are used for https basic authentication for those APIs that require it.

When you submit an API call through a web browser, for example https://<ServerIP>:<Port>/ccp-webapp/ccp/campaign/, the browser prompts for the username and password.

When accessing the API through an application such as cURL or POSTER, you must pass the username and password with the request, as in this example:

curl -I -X GET 
https://username:password@<ServerIP>:<Port>/ccp-webapp/ccp/campaign/

Failing to provide a username and password or providing incorrect credentials returns 401 Unauthorized.

If you forget the administrator credentials, refer to the Cisco Systems Command Line Interface (CLI) document for commands you can run to reset them.
