RESTful Logon Using Key or Cetificate, Not User Id/Password

[MichaelGrackin]

Anyone developing an application using the BusinessObjects RESTful API that uses some sort of Key or Certificate for logon instead of passing credentials? We would like to avoid issuing functional accounts that require passing User ID and Passwor dcredentials for applications to interact with the RESTful Web Services.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

You could configure it to use Trusted authentication, so you would only be sending the user ID. Also, I believe that in the more recent releases SAML authentication is possible.

Thanks Dell. I have been reading up on the SAML stuff and I am familiar with the Trusted authentication.
