Parameter description:

  • authType — Authorization type. It can be as follows:

    • password — with a password

    • pin - by PIN. A new PIN will be received in the response.

  • userType — Type of account to be protected. It can be admin or user (upon availability).

  • password — Password. This field must be available when setting up password protection.

    • "authType" : "unsecured" (unsecured authorization) — 30 days or until the moment when the application is closed

    • "authType" : "password" (with a password) — 30 days or until the moment when the application is closed

    • "authType" : "pin" (by PIN) — for 24 hours or until the application is closed

    • with a token — determined by the initial authorization during which the token was received

  • tokenForHttpServer — the current connection token. It will be used on the HTTP server. The token lifetime equals 5 minutes or until the moment when the application is closed

  • newPin - new PIN. This field is present if PIN protection was set: "authType" : "pin"

  • requestId - a unique request identifier. You can learn more about it here.
