-AAF 2.0 RESTful interface
-=========================
-
-Accessing RESTful
------------------
-
--AAF RESTful service is secured by the following:
--The Client must utilize HTTP/S. Non Secure HTTP is not acceptable
--The Client MUST supply an Identity validated by one of the following mechanisms
-
- - Valid Global Login Cookie (CSP)
- - BASIC AUTH protocol using CSO Registered MechID, provisioned in AAF
- - BASIC AUTH protocol using ATTUID@csp.att.com, Global Login Password
- - (Available 3rd Qtr 2015) Valid tGuard Login Cookie
- - (Near Future) Application level Certificate
-
-Responses
-
-Each API Entity listed shows what structure will be accepted by service (ContentType) or responded with by service (Accept). Therefore, use these in making your call. Critical for PUT/POST.
-
-Each API call may respond with JSON or XML. Choose the ContentType/Accept that has +json after the type for JSON or +xml after the Type for XML
-
-XSDs for Versions
-
-AAF can support multiple Versions of the API. Choose the ContentType/Accept that has the appropriate version=?.?
-
-All Errors coming from AAF return AT&T Standard Error Message as a String: `JSON <./example/YXBwbGljYXRpb24vRXJyb3IranNvbg==>`__ `XML <./example/YXBwbGljYXRpb24vRXJyb3IreG1s>`__ (does not apply to errors from Container)
-
-Character Restrictions
-
-- Character Restrictions must depend on the Enforcement Point used
-- Most AAF usage will be AAF Enforcement Point Characters for Instance and Action are:
- *a-zA-Z0-9,.()\_-=%*
- For Instance, you may declare a multi-dimensional key with : (colon) separator, example:
-
-Ask for a Consultation on how these are typically used, or, if your tool is the only Enforcement Point, if set may be expanded
-

-| PERMISSION | POST | /authz/perm | Create a Permission |

-| | | | specifying what kind of resource is being |
-| | | | protected |
-| | | | - instance - a key, possibly multi-dimensional |
-| | | | that identifies a specific instance of the |
-| | | | type |
