Other authentification for ERS API

[thomas arti]

Hello,

I'm working with the ERS's API and i'm wondering if there is another type of auth other than the basic, because the basic method only encrypt the username and password in base64 format wich can be very easily decrypt if you get the encrypted line.

Thanks.

Only HTTP Basic Auth is available in all versions of Cisco ISE.

It is true that the HTTP Basic method only Base64 encrypts the username and password, however they are sent through an HTTPS request with a secure tunnel that should prevent anyone from easily sniffing your username and password.
