| | #REDIRECT [[Plugins/Artefact/WebServices/WebServicesConfiguration]] |
| | |
| All Web Services configuration hangs off the plugin administration page http://your.mahara.local.net/artefact/webservice/pluginconfig.php
| |
| | |
| The main page:
| |
| | |
| [[File:Webservices-config.png|frame|left|Web Services main configuration page]] | |
| <br/>
| |
| | |
| From here, you can carry out all the main administrative tasks:
| |
| | |
| * Globally activate/deactivate web services
| |
| * activate/deactivate individual protocols (REST, SOAP, XML-RPC)
| |
| * Create Services Groups of Functions that can be accessed
| |
| * Generate access tokens, and allocate users, and services groups
| |
| * Grant access to users for simple authentication access, and allocate service groups
| |
| * look up API descriptions for functions
| |
| | |
| == Global activation ==
| |
| | |
| Globally activate or deactivate all web service access for when you need to shut off access completely

| |
| | |
| == Activating Protocols ==
| |
| | |
| Individual protocols can be activated or deactivated. Once activated, the protocol is available to all configured functions/users/tokens.
| |
| | |
| Available protocols are:
| |
| * SOAP
| |
| * REST (a basic HTTP and forms POST based interface)
| |
| * XML-RPC

| == Service Groups ==
| |
| | |
| Service groups are the unit of allocation of access to a user (simple auth) or user token. They are a collection of functions.
| |
| | |
| [[File:Webservices-manage-service-groups.png|frame|center|Web Services service groups]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| Give a service group a name, and then specify what functions are to be included. You must also decide what form of authentication can access this service group - web service token, or user simple auth (user and password).

| | |
| == Function API Descriptions ==
| |
| | |
| From the Service Group editing view, there is a link to each API function that will take you to a description of the functions API - input/output parameters, and error handling.
