An application engineer is using the Swagger framework to leverage REST APIs to authenticate endpoints. The engineer is receiving HTTP 403 responses. Which of the following should the engineer do to correct this issue? (Choose two.)
o Obtain a security token: A security token is often required for authenticated access to protected API endpoints. If the engineer is receiving a 403 Forbidden error, it likely means the token is missing, invalid, or expired. Obtaining a new valid token from the authentication service should resolve the issue.
o Leverage OAuth for authentication: OAuth is a widely used authorization framework that allows users to grant access to their data on third-party applications without revealing their passwords. If the API supports OAuth, using this method can provide a secure and standardized way of authentication and authorization, potentially resolving the 403 error.
A. Obtain a security token: HTTP 403 responses typically indicate that the request is authenticated but the user does not have the necessary permissions to access the endpoint. Obtaining a security token is a common method for authenticating requests. This token is usually required by the API to verify that the requestor has the proper access rights.
D. Leverage OAuth for authentication: OAuth is a widely used authentication framework that allows an application to obtain limited access to user accounts on an HTTP service. It is commonly used for token-based authentication, and leveraging OAuth would help in obtaining the necessary tokens and permissions to access the API endpoints.
