Wait, are we sure about that? Seems off to me.

I thought it was securitySchemas, but I could be wrong.

It's definitely the securityDefinitions name property!

I’m leaning towards securityParams, but that doesn’t sound right. I should have reviewed the definitions more closely.

I feel like the answer has to do with security variables, but I can't recall the exact terminology used in the OpenAPI 2.0.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think it was about securitySchemas, but that might be for a different version of the spec.

I think we specify the type of security using the securityDefinitions name property, but I’m not completely sure.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is A. The securityDefinitions object is where you define the security schemes, and then you use the name property to specify which one you want to use for a particular path or operation.

Okay, I got this. The key is to look at the securityDefinitions object in the OpenAPI spec. That's where you define the different security schemes, like basic auth, OAuth, etc. Then you reference those in the security property of your paths and operations.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know we need to specify the security, but I'm not sure if it's the securityDefinitions, securitySchemas, or something else. I'll have to review the OpenAPI docs again.

I think the answer is A - we specify the type of security using the securityDefinitions name property in the OpenAPI Specification 2.0.

I believe it's A) specify using the securityDefinitions name property, as it is the standard way to specify security in OpenAPI Specification 2.0.

I'm not sure, but I think it might be C) specify using the securityVariables name property.

I agree with Lajuana, because securityDefinitions is used to define security schemes in OpenAPI Specification 2.0.
TI
Timothy 1 year ago
Option B doesn't make sense, there's no such thing as 'secuntySchemas' in the OpenAPI spec.
LA
Lajuana 1 year ago

I think the answer is A. The securityDefinitions property is where we specify the type of security used in the API.
