Multi step HTTP authentication

[xeebuc]

Hello,

Do you think it could be possible to add a multi step auth for the HTTP input ? What I mean by that is :

1. HTTP basic AUTH
   • curl -v -X POST -u 'USER:PASSWORD' -k https://fmc.REDACTED.TLD/api/fmc_platform/v1/auth/generatetoken
2. Server return Token access
3. HTTP request to the API using that token previsously generated
   • curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "x-auth-access-token:TOKEN" --output backup.tar.gz -k https://fmc.REDACTED.TLD/api/fmc_config/v1/domain/DOMAIN_ID/backup/downloadbackup/manager

The Rest API of the Cisco FMC work that way and the token is only valid for 30min.

Thanks

I second this request. There are other applications out there as well that use this type of method to receive the API Token
