I am trying to do a push install via the rest API.

 

Obviously the password would not be embedded as clear text so my question is what is expected in terms of the password being passed?

Hello,

For Login API, please send the passwords base64 encoded string as documented. For install API, it should be ok to send the plain text password as long as the connection is secure. (HTTPS).

Perfect. Thank you. I didn’t know what was required.
