Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for authenticating and authorizing clients. A client certificate is used to authenticate and authorize a client (or user). When the client certificate is received, the certificate is authenticated. If the certificate is valid, a username included in the certificate is used to authorize the client. This may be done based on privileges or permissions associated with the user name. Once the client or user is authenticated and authorized, operations requested by the client can be performed as long as permitted by the privileges or permissions.

Abstract: One embodiment is related to a method for testing representational state transfer (REST) application program interfaces (APIs), comprising: parsing service specification files; prompting, based on the service specification files, a user to select a resource to be tested and to provide relevant request payload field inputs; receiving resource selection and request payload field inputs from the user; converting the request payload field inputs into JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and/or Extended Markup Language (XML) data; submitting the JSON and/or XML data to a web services host with a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) REST request; receiving a response from the web services host in a form of JSON and/or XML data; and presenting the response to the user.
