1.7. Accessing Managed Objects Through the REST API

OpenIDM exposes all managed object functionality through the REST API unless you configure a policy to prevent such access. In addition to the common REST functionality of create, read, update, delete, patch, and query, the REST API also supports patch by query. See the REST API Reference appendix for details.

OpenIDM requires authentication to access the REST API. Authentication configuration is shown in openidm/conf/authentication.json. The default authorization filter script is openidm/script/router-authz.js.
