Before continuing, you will need the following:

• Download and Install Postman

  • Pod URL

  • Session Auth URL

  • Key Manager Auth URL

  • API Agent URL

• A generated RSA key pair

• A service account created on your pod with the public key from above loaded

2. Launch Postman

3. Click on the Import button on the top-left

4. Drop both json files into the import file window

Update Environment Configuration

Run Collection

Try to perform Authentication > RSA Session Auth and RSA KeyMan Auth. If any of them fail, check that your environment details are accurate:

Explore the rest of the collection and make requests by filling in the respective request parameters or body payloads and pressing the Send button. There is no need to manually copy and paste tokens from the authentication process as they are saved in the environment. If the tokens expire, simply redo the requests from step 1 above and try again.
