Token Service APIs - Production

Identity and Access Management ( Token Service) APIs

Each member of the Sahamati Network will be onboarded with a designated user who holds an admin role to manage the entity’s profile and secret.

  • During the onboarding process, the designated user will receive an email containing a verification link. After email verification, the user will be prompted to set a password, completing the account activation process.

  • Once the password is set, the user can generate the User Access Token by providing their email and the new password. This token is used for authenticating the entity’s secrets.

  • The designated user can then use the User Access Token to access the entity’s secret and, if necessary, reset the secret.

  • Finally, the entity secret is used to generate the Entity Access Token, which is needed for interactions with the ReBIT APIs within the AA network.

Entity Token Generation use case

The Regulated Entities (REs) should generate the Access Token using the Token API from Sahamati for accessing and authentication of any APIs in the AA ecosystem including Sahamati APIs.

Here is the sequence diagram for the Token Generation Process.

Reset Secret API

post

The Reset Secret API is used to reset the entity’s secret. To perform this action, a user access token with administrative privileges must be provided. Once reset, the generated secret will have a validity period (default and max value of 180 days) as specified in the request payload. The SPOC will have to ensure that it is renewed well before the expiry. An entity’s secret can be reset up to 5 times per day. There will be a waiting period of 5 mins applied after each reset API call. Below is the API specification.

AuthorizationstringRequired

User Bearer token for authorization

entityIdstringRequiredExample: aa-1
secretExpiryDaysintegerOptional

Specifies the number of days before the secret expires. This field is optional; if not provided, a default value will be used.

Example: 100
oldSecretValidityintegerOptional

Specifies the number of days (a max of 7) for which the previous secret remains valid. The old and new secret, both, can be used to generate token during this period. This field is optional. If not provided or set to 0, the old secret will be invalidated immediately. We advise the REs to use this judiciously.
