REST API for Spatial Network Data Model Contraction Hierarchies

Authentication

The NDM Contraction Hierarchies API uses a certificate authority (CA) certificate, issued by Verisign, to enable clients to connect securely to the server.

Note:

Ensure that you have the appropriate log-in credentials for creating, managing, and deleting REST API instances.

You access the NDM Contraction Hierarchies API resources over HTTPS and must provide the following information for authentication:

An SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate file or bundle to authenticate against the Verisign CA certificate.

For example, to authenticate using cURL:

When running cURL from a Windows command shell only, set the cURL environment variable, CURL_CA_BUNDLE, to the ___location of an SSL certificate authority (CA) certificate file or bundle to authenticate against the Verisign CA certificate. Alternatively, you can specify the ___location of your local CA certificate bundle on the command line, using the --cacert command line option.

You can download an SSL CA certificate bundle from http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html or provide your own. For information about CA certificate verification using cURL, see: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html.

The following is an example syntax for a cURL command:

curl -i -X GET -H <request-header>:<value> https://<subdomain>.<___domain>.com:<port>/<resource-path>
