Transport Protocol Requirements

RESTCONF requires the following transport protocols:

  • RESTCONF server is not supported over HTTP. To support data integrity and confidentiality, RESTCONF requires HTTPS.
  • RESTCONF supports the "https" URI scheme, and ICX uses the IANA assigned default port 443.
  • The RESTCONF server must authenticate client access to any protected resource. If the RESTCONF client is not authenticated, the server must send an HTTP response with "401 Authorization Required".
