Authenticating Luminate Online Server API calls is a two-stage process.
- The IP address of the server invoking the API call
will be checked against the list of allowed IP ranges, per the Luminate Online
Site Configuration parameters.
- If the API is being invoked from a server in the allowed IP
range, then the login_name and login_password parameters will be used
to authenticate with the site.
- Each API or method may verify that the API Administrator
account specified by the login_name and login_password parameters
has the correct permission to access that particular API before
authorizing access. See the documentation for the individual
API or method for information on the necessary permissions.
If the above succeeds, the caller will be authenticated and the API
call will proceed.
If any of the above fail, then the call will not be
authenticated and an
error message will be returned.
