Resource Type
Description
Here we are describing the Resource object type in relation to midPoints REST API. The Resource objects are a part of the REST API web resources.
Operations And Examples
The Resource endpoint is a part of the Create-Read-Update-Delete (CRUD) web resources present in midPoint. This is apparent in the operations which are available for this type of object.
In our examples we are authenticating with the credentials, name "administrator" and password "y0uR_P455woR*d" on a localhost instance running on port 8080. |
For some help regarding the REST examples please see this link:
