HP CSA Certificates
When a user logs into HP CSA through a web browser, HP CSA presents a certificate to “prove” to the user that it is the
HP CSA site that it claims to be. By default, HP CSA does not offer a certificate that has been validated by a trusted authority.
At this point, the user has the choice of accepting the offered certificate or ending the session.
Figure 11. Example Security Certificate Message
Your API software will need to know how to handle the certificate “handshake” situation and how to proceed
appropriately—perhaps by tracking trusted sites and certificates.
Part 5. Sample API Sequence and Responses
Data Collection Sequence
Figure 12 describes one possible sequence for HP CSA billing information data collection. Developers can choose to execute
queries of different breadth or depth based on reporting requirements. For the details of specific REST API calls and options,
see the HP Cloud Service Automation API Reference.
Example sequence:
1. Get a credential token for administrative user or other user with appropriate permissions.
2. Retrieve the list of organizations configured in this HP CSA installation.
3. For each organization, get a list of subscribers as well as other information the billing solution developer might be
interested in.
