IAM APIs

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.

Generate User Access Token API

post

To generate a User Access Token, the user must provide their username (email) and the password configured during the account activation process. This access token is necessary for interacting with the member's secret management APIs. The access token has an expiry of 180 days. Below is the API specification.

Reset Secret API

post

The Reset Secret API is designed to allow an admin to reset a member's secret. To perform this action, an access token with administrative privileges for the specified member is required. Once reset, the newly generated secret will have a validity period of 180 days by default, after which it will need to be renewed or reset again.

With the latest enhancements, members can now select their desired validity period for secrets, up to a defined maximum limit (default: 180 days). The specified validity period is compared with the admin access token expiry, and the minimum value is applied to ensure authentication and security. Additionally, a grace period of 5 days is provided to facilitate a seamless transition between old and new secrets.

Below is the API specification.

Generate Entity Access Token API

post

To generate a Member (Entity) Access Token, the client ID and Secret are required. The API generates the token with a warning if the secret is within the grace period, but it will fail once the grace period has ended. This token is used for interactions with other members and has a validity of 24 hours. The API specification is detailed below.

Body
idstringRequired

The entity ID.

secretstringRequired

The secret associated with the entity.
