1.5 Understanding REST Services for Identity Governance

Identity Governance supports REST API functionality. The REST APIs use the OAuth2 protocol for authentication. The installation program deploys a special API WAR file, apidoc.war, which contains the documentation of REST services needed for Identity Governance. On Tomcat the doc.war file is automatically deployed when Identity Governance is installed.

The REST API documentation can be found atprotocol://server:port/apidoc. For example, http://myserver.netiq.com:8080/apidoc.

NOTE:You should manually move or delete the API WAR files and folders from the Tomcat webapps directory in your production environment.
