Code Block
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Content-Type: application/json
{"reason":"You must sign the Synapse terms of use."}

The API for retrieving the text of the terms of use is given below.

 

Session token is valid for a period of time, currently set to 24 hours.

Refresh Token (reset timer)

Request:

Code Block
PUT https://auth-staging.sagebase.org/auth/v1/session
{"sessionToken":"AYcOhWIm9NdOC6BdzzzisQ00"}

Successful Response:

Code Block
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

Error Response, if the session token is invalid:

Code Block
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
{"reason":"Unable to validate session."}

Terminate Session (Logout)

 Note: Sessions initiated by multiple clients for the same user around the same time will receive identical "single sign on" tokens.  Since session termination is linked to the session token, terminating the session for one client via this command will have the side effect of terminating all sessions.  An alternative is for the client simply to delete its own copy of the token.

Request:

Code Block

Access repository services anonymously:
curl -H Accept:application/json https://repo-staging.sagebase.org/repo/v1/dataset/test

Access repository services with session token (obtained by logging in):
curl -H Accept:application/json -H sessionToken:AprxPRzpmaPm7FXzV1ik0w00 https://repo-staging.sagebase.org/repoauth/v1/dataset/testsession

Access repository services with HMAC-SHA1 signed requestanonymously:
curl -i -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H " Accept:application/json " -H signatureTimestamp:2011-09-27T21:59:22.371-07:00 -H signature:yhMgokIH9ErQklj8oUuhHR5o5QM= -H userId:demouser@sagebase.org -X GET "httphttps://localhost:8080/services-repository-0.7-SNAPSHOTrepo-staging.sagebase.org/repo/v1/dataset?sort=name&limit=3"

Authentication of Requests to Platform

Authentication via Session Token

Requests shall include a header named "sessionToken" whose value is that returned by the Initiate Session request, above. (The session will timeout eventually, with a nominal duration of 24 hours.)

Authentication via Secret Key

Request shall include the following headers:

Code Block
userId: demouser@sagebase.org
signatureTimestamp: 2011-07-16T19:20:30.45+01:00 (i.e. in ISO8601 format including time zone)
signature: <signature>

where <signature> is the HMAC-SHA1 hash created using the shared secret key generated above, and the hashed data is the concatenation:
userId + uri + signatureTimestamp

URI example: If the request is made to

https://repo-staging.sagebase.org/test

Access repository services with session token (obtained by logging in):
curl -H Accept:application/json -H sessionToken:AprxPRzpmaPm7FXzV1ik0w00 https://repo-staging.sagebase.org/repo/v1/dataset/test

Access repository services with HMAC-SHA1 signed request:
curl -i -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" -H signatureTimestamp:2011-09-27T21:59:22.371-07:00 -H signature:yhMgokIH9ErQklj8oUuhHR5o5QM= -H userId:demouser@sagebase.org -X GET "http://localhost:8080/services-repository-0.7-SNAPSHOT/repo/v1/dataset?sort=name&limit=3

then the URI is:

/repo/v1/dataset

Authentication Failure

For requests that fail to be authenticated the response will include the headers:

WWW-Authenticate: authenticate Crowd

and a plain text body:  "The token provided was invalid or expired."

API for Terms of Use

A user may not initiate a session until they agree to the Synapse Terms of Use.  This API allows retrieval of the terms.

Get the Terms of Use

Code Block
GET https://auth-staging.sagebase.org/auth/v1/termsOfUse

Successful Response:
