Astakos API

===========

This is Astakos API guide.

Overview

--------

Astakos service co-ordinates the access to resources (and the subsequent

permission model) and acts as the single point of registry and entry to the

GRNET cloud services.

This document's goals is to describe the APIs to the outer world.

Make sure you have read the :ref:`astakos` general architecture first.

User API Operations

--------------------

The operations described in this chapter allow users to authenticate themselves, send feedback and get user uuid/displayname mappings.

All the operations require a valid user token.

.. _authenticate-api-label:

Authenticate

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Authenticate API requests require a token. An application that wishes to connect to Astakos, but does not have a token, should redirect the user to ``/login``. (see :ref:`authentication-label`)

Service API Operations

----------------------

The operations described in this chapter allow services to get user uuid/displayname mappings.

All the operations require a valid service token.

Get User catalogs

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Return a json formatted dictionary containing information about a specific user

======================================= =========  ==================

Uri                                     Method     Description

======================================= =========  ==================

``/account/v1.0/service/user_catalogs`` POST       Get 2 catalogs containing uuid to displayname mapping and the opposite

======================================= =========  ==================

|

====================  ============================

Request Header Name   Value

====================  ============================

X-Auth-Token          Service authentication token

====================  ============================

|

The request body is a json formatted dictionary containing a list with uuids and another list of displaynames to translate.

If instead of list null is passed then the response contains the information for all the system users (For discretion purposes

this behavior is **not** exposed in the respective call of the User API).

Example request content:

::

  {"displaynames": ["user1@example.com", "user2@example.com"],

   "uuids":["ff53baa9-c025-4d56-a6e3-963db0438830", "a9dc21d2-bcb2-4104-9a9e-402b7c70d6d8"]}

Example reply:

::

  {"displayname_catalog": {"user1@example.com": "a9dc21d2-bcb2-4104-9a9e-402b7c70d6d8",

                           "user2@example.com": "816351c7-7405-4f26-a968-6380cf47ba1f"},

  'uuid_catalog': {"a9dc21d2-bcb2-4104-9a9e-402b7c70d6d8": "user1@example.com",

                   "ff53baa9-c025-4d56-a6e3-963db0438830": "user2@example.com"}}

=========================== =====================

Return Code                 Description

=========================== =====================

200 (OK)                    The request succeeded

400 (Bad Request)           Method not allowed or request body is not json formatted

401 (Unauthorized)          Missing or expired or invalid service token

500 (Internal Server Error) The request cannot be completed because of an internal error

=========================== =====================

.. warning:: The service is also available under ``/service/api/user_catalogs``.

     It  will be removed in the next version.

Tokens API Operations

----------------------

Authenticate

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Fallback call which receives the user token or the user uuid/token pair and

returns back the token as well as information about the token holder and the

services he/she can access.

========================================= =========  ==================

Uri                                       Method     Description

========================================= =========  ==================

``/identity/v2.0/tokens/``                POST       Checks whether the provided token is valid and conforms with the provided uuid (if present) and returns back information about the user

========================================= =========  ==================

The input should be json formatted.

Example request:

::

    {

        "auth":{

            "token":{

                "id":"CDEe2k0T/HdiJWBMMbHyOA"

            },

            "tenantName":"c18088be-16b1-4263-8180-043c54e22903"

        }

    }

or

::

    {

        "auth":{

            "passwordCredentials":{

                "username":"c18088be-16b1-4263-8180-043c54e22903",

                "password":"CDEe2k0T/HdiJWBMMbHyOA"

            },

            "tenantName":"c18088be-16b1-4263-8180-043c54e22903"

        }

    }

The tenantName in the above requests is optional.

The response is json formatted unless it is requested otherwise via format

request parameter or Accept header.

Example json response:
