PKI REST API Design

Endi S. Dewata edited this page Jan 26, 2021 · 3 revisions

Overview

PKI provides REST interfaces to allow clients to access services on the server.

Design

The REST interface uses regular HTTP verbs:

  • GET: Fetch data, no side effects

  • POST: Create new entries in the namespace

  • PUT: Update entires in the namespace.

In general, POST will not create entries that are active, but will require a further PUT to approve. One exception is when agents create and approve certificates in one call. If we continue this approach, we will have to revise the security mechanisms around it, as currently it requires disabling nonces.

All HTTP calls should have return codes defined for expected success and error cases.

Notes

  1. There is still misc admin that has not yet been characterized. This is in caca; caregistry; krakra; ocspocsp; tkstks servlets which map to the admin servlet.

  2. Wizard and installation servlets are not covered (for the most part).

  3. We need to figure out how to handle client-auth vs. non-clientauth - which maps to ee/agent/admin. Currently we do this by filtering URLs.

  4. This is just a first cut and hopefully a useful starting point for discussions

  5. We need to revisit POST-b in CRLs
