Appendix N. Integration of XML Web API and Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite

 

The XML Web API is described in the XML API for Dr.Web® Enterprise Security Suite manual (see also Help section).

 

Application

XML Web API, when integrated to the Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite, provides functions for operation of transactions with accounts and automatisation of service users management. You can use it, for example, to create dynamic pages to receive requests from users and send them installation files.

Authentication

The HTTP(S) protocol is used to interact with the Enterprise Server. XML API accepts RESET requests and replies with the XML. To get access to the XML API, the Basic HTTP authentication is used (in compliance with RFC 2617 standard). Contrary to RFC 2617 and related standards, the HTTP(S) server does not request credentials (i.e., Dr.Web ESS administrator account name and its password) from the client.
