POST Config/EnumerateObjectsDerivedFrom

Returns all Config objects derived from the specified class. If the class inherits from a parent, the return data also includes parent classes. For more information, see Parent class—Credential Base.

Requirements

  • Permissions:  In order for the enumeration to work properly, the caller must have View permission to the requested object.
  • Token scope:  Configuration

Headers

  • Content type: Content-Type:application/json.

  • Token: The bearer access token that you received. For example, Authorization:Bearer 4MyGeneratedBearerTknz==. For more information, see Passing a bearer token in your API calls.

Parameters

Input parameters

Name

Description

DerivedFrom

The name of the parent class for which derived objects should be returned for.

Pattern (Optional)

Pattern by which to filter the response:

  • To list DNs that include an asterisk (*) or question mark (?), prepend two backslashes (\\). For example, \\*.MyCompany.net treats the asterisk as a literal character and returns only certificates with DNs that match *.MyCompany.net.
  • To list DNs with a wildcard character, append a question mark (?). For example, "test_?.mycompany.net" counts test_1.MyCompany.net and test_2.MyCompany.net but not test12.MyCompany.net.
  • To list DNs with similar names, prepend an asterisk. For example, *est.MyCompany.net, counts Test.MyCompany.net and West.MyCompany.net.

  • You can also use both literals and wildcards in a pattern.

    NOTE  Web SDK wildcards operate differently than the UI wildcards. For REST API calls, be sure to follow the guidelines stated in this section.
