Authentication & Security 3

Cisco Intersight Cli API declares 3 security schemes for authenticating requests. An API key is passed in the cookie as X-Starship-Token (cookieAuth). It uses HTTP signature authentication (http_signature). It supports OAuth 2.0 (oAuth2) using the authorizationCode and clientCredentials flows, exposing 3315 scopes.

  • cookieAuth — The authentication cookie obtained from a Single-Sign-On SAML assertion.
  • http_signature — The 'HTTP signature' security scheme. Each HTTP request is cryptographically signed as specified in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-cavage-http-signatur…
  • oAuth2 — The client uses the OAuth2 security scheme. To use OAuth2, a client application must be registered by creating a iam.AppRegistration resource. The user who cre…

Paths & Operations 6

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Cisco Intersight Cli API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
