Which HTTP method or methods is used to generate an Authorization Token for Saviynt EIC API?
In Saviynt EIC, generating anAuthorization Tokenfor API access is performed using theHTTP POST method. This is aligned with standard REST API authentication practices, where sensitive information such as credentials (username, password, client ID, or client secret) is securely transmitted in the request body rather than in the URL.
Saviynt provides API endpoints (such as/ECM/api/login) that require aPOST requestcontaining authentication details in JSON format. Upon successful authentication, the system returns asession token or authorization token, which is then used in subsequent API calls (typically passed in headers likeAuthorizationortoken).
Option A (PUT) and Option B (GET) are not suitable for authentication token generation. GET exposes parameters in the URL and is not secure for credential transmission, while PUT is typically used for updating resources. Option D (GIVE) is not a valid HTTP method.
Therefore, POST is the correct and secure method used in Saviynt APIs forauthentication and token generation, ensuring compliance with RESTful and security best practices.
