The OTCSTicket is an authentication token used in OpenText Content Server to maintain session state for a user.

b. Obtaining an OTCSTicket

Using Basic Authentication:

You can obtain an OTCSTicket by sending a request to the /api/v1/auth endpoint with your username and password.

curl -X POST '<http://<ContentServerURL>>/otcs/cs.exe/api/v1/auth' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"username": "yourUsername", "password": "yourPassword"}'

Response will be the ticket to be used in request headers for authentication like below.

{
    "ticket": "I+hHI2cc4iTDsaYquT/xxxxxxxxAABxexfxxxxxx/vqo5EjtrY7xxxxxgUSGMtzoV8BrcEAdnsN9iY8K/8aKEva4soxxxxxxdltT6P2uZI5eW+4Ulw=="
}
