Table 2 New Features for ASA REST API 1.1(1)

Feature

Description
Token-based authentication (in addition to existing basic authentication)
Client can send log-in request to a specific URL; if successful, a token is returned (in response header). Client then uses this token (in a special request header) for sending additional API calls. The token is valid until explicitly invalidated, or the idle/session timeout is reached.
Limited multiple-context support
The REST API agent can now be enabled in multi-context mode; the CLI commands can be issued only in system-context mode (same commands as single-context mode).
Pass-through CLI API commands can be used to configure any context, as follows.
https://<asa_admin_context_ip>/api/cli?context=<context_name>
If the context parameter is not present, it is assumed that the request is directed to the admin context.
Application Protocol inspection

We added support for the following inspections:

  • DNS over UDP
  • HTTP
  • ICMP
  • ICMP ERROR
  • RTSP
  • DCERPC
  • IP Options
Connection limits

We added support for the connection limits feature.
Backup and restore

We added support for the backup and restore feature.
NTP

We added support for NTP configuration.
write memory

We added support for saving the running configuration (write memory).
