This page explains the concept of technical clients and shows how to use the Adminapp REST API to manage them.
With the term technical client or tech-client we refer to REST API clients or other technical peers.
Examples are:
- ●Mobile app using an interface (e.g. REST API) that is protected by Airlock
- ●Server application using an interface (e.g. REST API) that is protected by Airlock
- ●A TPP (third-party provider) in PSD2
- ●An OAuth 2.0 client or OpenID Connect relying party
Airlock IAM provides the following services and features around Tech-clients:
- ●Authentication (e.g. client certificate, OAuth 2.0)
- ●Management (REST API)
- ●Policy information point for access control with Airlock Gateway (WAF)
- ●Various API gateway features (planned)
Note that a tech-client (e.g. web-server application) may authenticate itself and at the same type represent an end-user that has been authenticated in a different way.
Example:
- ●a web-server authenticates it-self to be able to use a REST API using a client certificate
- ●the end-user using the web-server authenticates itself using username, password and a token
