Enabling the REST API access mode
When making requests to FortiVoice appliances using the REST API, you need:
- A valid admin username and password (so that an authenticated session can be established).
- Appropriate access permissions for the requested resource (controlled by admin profile).
For an administrator to use the REST API, it has to be enabled as the access mode for the administrator.
To enable the access mode on the FortiVoice phone system using the CLI
config system admin
edit admin
set access cli gui rest
end
To enable the access mode on the FortiVoice phone system using the GUI
- Go to System > Administrator > Administrator.
- Click New.
- For Access mode, enable REST API.
- Click OK.
