Example Setup (cont.)
Now, open your favorite REST client. This example uses the Postman browser plug-in.
-
Create a GET request and specify the Basic as the authentication type and SuperUser/SYS as the Username/Password.
The URL looks like this
http://localhost:52773/csp/user/authenticationEx
Note that the port number displayed here, 52773, is the default InterSystems IRIS web server port. The port for your instance may be different.
-
Click Send. The application returns the username and the user's roles. When InterSystems IRIS is installed with minimal as the initial security setting, SuperUser has the %ALL role.
SuperUser is a predefined user account that InterSystems IRIS installs by default. To learn more about predefined users, see Predefined User Accounts.
There are a number of free REST clients available as stand alone applications and browser plug-ins.
