26-4 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle WebCenter

26.5 Changing the REST Root Name

Although not required, in some cases you might want to change the root name for the REST APIs. The recommended technique for changing the REST root name is to do so by configuring a proxy server. For example, through the proxy server configuration described in Section 26.4, Configuring a Proxy Server, the following two URIs refer to the same server: http:10.143.122.163restapiresourceIndex http:10.143.122.163rpolkrestapiresourceIndex

26.6 Using Compression

This section explains techniques for enabling compression on the XML or JSON responses that are returned to the client by the REST APIs. If you are running Apache, you can add the mod_deflate or mod_gzip server modules to the server configuration. Refer to the Apache documentation for more information. If you are using Oracle HTTP Server OHS, Oracle recommends using Oracle Web Cache for this purpose. For detailed information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator’s Guide for Oracle Web Cache. If you are using OHS, you can also add the mod_deflate or mod_gzip server module to enable compression. For detailed information on this technique, see Understanding Oracle HTTP Server Modules in the Oracle Fusion Middeware Administrators Guide for Oracle HTTP Server. For more information on Oracle Web Cache, see the section Compression in the Oracle Fusion Middeware Administrators Guide for Oracle HTTP Server, and see the chapter Caching and Compressing Content in the same guide.

26.7 Handling Authentication

By default, REST services are configured to accept authentication from identity assertion providers. If no identity assertion providers are configured, basic authentication is used. For information on configuring identity assertion providers, see Configuring the REST Service in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle WebCenter. For more information, see Configuring Authentication Providers in Oracle Fusion Middleware Securing Oracle WebLogic Server. Note: Users can access the CMIS root anonymously. For more information, see Security Considerations for CMIS REST APIs in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle WebCenter.
