Authentication Methods

API Key and Tenant ID Authentication

The adapter authenticates using an API key and tenant ID to obtain a session JWT token via the /auth/exchange endpoint. This token is then used to authenticate subsequent API requests for device data.

APIs

Axonius uses the Bold Security API. The following endpoints are called:

  • GET /auth/exchange - Exchanges API key credentials for a session JWT token
  • GET /v1/devices - Retrieves device inventory information

Required Permissions

Note: The exact permission names should be confirmed with your Bold Security administrator or Bold Security support, as the API documentation is not publicly available.
