rest-server (management-policy)

Enables the REST (Representational State Transfer) server. When enabled, the REST server allows vendor users access to the online device registration portal. All requests and responses to and from the on-boarding portal are handled by the REST server through restful API (Application Programming Interface) transactions. The REST server serves the Web pages used to associate a device‘s MAC address with a specific vendor group.

Each vendor has a ‘vendor-admin‘ user who is assigned a unique, username/password credential for RADIUS server validation. Successfully validated vendor-admins can access the online device registration portal to on-board devices. For more information on vendor-admin user configuration, see user (management-policy).

The REST server is enabled by default.

Supported in the following platforms:
