OAuth 2.0 Authentication
This authentication type is based on the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework.
To obtain a pair of tokens, the client sends the HTTP POST request to the /token path.
|
Simultaneous sessions initiated in different applications under the same user credentials may interfere with each other. To avoid unexpected logout, use a different user account for every application. |
A successfully completed operation returns the 200 OK response code and an access and a refresh token in the response body. The client inserts the access token in headers of further requests to the Veeam Service Provider Console REST API. The refresh token must be saved locally.
|
To learn how to authorize your access using an application, you can review the Example Requests and Responses section. Alternatively, you can use Swagger UI. |
Using Refresh Token
To obtain a new pair of tokens in case the access token expires or becomes invalid, the client sends the HTTP POST request with the refresh token in the request body to the /token path. A successfully completed operation returns the 200 OK response code and a new pair of tokens in the response body.
Performing Logout
When you finish working with the Veeam Service Provider Console REST API, send the HTTP DELETE request to the /users/{userId}/tokens path. A successfully completed operation returns the 200 OK response code.
Example Requests and Responses
The following example illustrates how you communicate with the server using requests and responses.
- To obtain an access and a refresh token, the client sends the HTTP POST request with the multipart\form-data content type to the /token path.
In the body of the request, the client specifies the following parameters:
- grant_type — the authorization process requires that the password value must be specified for this parameter.
- username and password — credentials used to access the server; in this example, vspc\administrator and Password1 are used.
Request: POST https://localhost:1280/api/v3/token
Request Header: Content-Type: multipart/form-data Authorization: Bearer
Request Body: grant_type : password username : vspc\administrator password : Password1 |
The server sends a response in the following format.

- To refresh a pair of tokens, send the HTTP POST request with the multipart\form-data content type to the /token path.
In the body of the request, specify the following values for the parameters:
- grant_type — to refresh the token, it is required that the refresh_token value must be specified for this parameter.
- refresh_token — the previously saved refresh token.

- To log out, send the HTTP DELETE request to the /users/{userId}/tokens path. To inquire a value for the userId parameter, you can send the HTTP GET request to the users/me path.
In the Authorization header, specify currently valid access token in the Bearer <access_token> format.
