Kantega SSO Enterprise REST API

Starting with version 5.2 Kantega SSO Enterprise introduces REST API for managing plugin configuration. Our plugin exposes REST resources under the /ksso/api path.

The latest Kantega SSO REST API offers the following resources:

  1. General plugin information

  2. Snapshots of Config

  3. API Tokens

  4. IDP REST Resources


There is a neat plugin from Atlassian for discovery and testing of REST services that you can use for running requests on your Jira installation, you can get it here:
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211542/atlassian-rest-api-browser?hosting=server&tab=overview
You can find the Kantega SSO REST API by searching for ksso/api and uncheck the “show only public APIs” checkbox.

1. General plugin information

On the resource /rest/ksso/api/info/1.0/ping, you can perform GET requests to check the liveness of Kantega SSO Enterprise.

Example

GET
https://<atlassian-product-base-url>/rest/ksso/api/info/1.0/ping

Returns a HTTP 200 with a JSON document when Kantega SSO Enterprise is alive:

{ "datetime": "2022-04-09T05:10:06.160+02:00[Europe/Oslo]", "response": "pong", "timestamp": 1649473806160 }

2. Snapshots of Config (Now Backup & restore in GUI)

POST
/rest/ksso/api/snapshot/1.0/config/snapshot/
Without parameter will automatically generate a description like:
sso-snapshot-2021-12-02-19_51_50
You can also provide a description to tag the snapshot with more info:
/rest/ksso/api/snapshot/1.0/config/snapshot/?description=test-snapshot-2021-12-01

 

POST
/rest/ksso/api/snapshot/1.0/config/snapshot/restore/{id}
example:
/rest/ksso/api/snapshot/1.0/config/snapshot/restore/sso-snapshot-2021-12-02-19_51_50
Restores the snapshot with id sso-snapshot-2021-12-02-19_51_50. The description does not affect the id, so it’s best to retrieve the id of a snapshot with a specific description by running GET /rest/ksso/api/snapshot/1.0/config/snapshot/ and filtering the results with a specific description.
