name: Agilix Buzz (DLAP / xLi) API authentication
description: >-
  The Buzz API authenticates machine callers with OAuth 2.0 client credentials carrying a
  JWT client assertion (RFC 6749 + RFC 7523): the integration signs a short-lived assertion
  with an RSA private key whose public key is registered against an "Application Identity"
  user account, POSTs it to the token endpoint, and receives a one-hour Bearer access token
  it presents on every command. A legacy username/password flow (Login3) still works and is
  still supported, but the provider documents it as not recommended for new integrations.
  Authorization is not scope-based: every command names the Rights it requires against an
  entity (for example DeleteCourse@courseid), and those rights are granted to the
  Application Identity account exactly as they would be to a person.
  There is no OpenAPI document to derive securitySchemes from — this profile is read from
  the provider's own published authentication reference.
primary_scheme: oauth2
schemes:
- id: oauth2_jwt_client_credentials
  type: oauth2
  flow: clientCredentials
  preferred: true
  token_endpoint: '{server}/api/oauth/token'
  token_endpoint_example: https://backgroundapi.agilixbuzz.com/api/oauth/token
  grant_type: client_credentials
  client_assertion_type: urn:ietf:params:oauth:client-assertion-type:jwt-bearer
  client_id: The userid of the Application Identity account created with CreateUsers2 (type applicationidentity)
  signing_algorithm: RS256
  key_size: 2048-bit RSA or larger
  key_registration:
    method: PUT
    path: '{server}/api/users/{userid}/keys/{kid}'
    content_type: application/x-pem-file
    body: SubjectPublicKeyInfo (SPKI) PEM public key
    success_status: 204
    rights_required: Update User on the Application Identity account
    note: >-
      kid is caller-chosen (ASCII letters, digits, '-', '_', '.'; max 128 chars) and must
      match the kid header of the JWT assertion. PUTting an existing kid replaces the key
      in place and immediately breaks any running application still using the old one, so
      rotation is done by adding a second kid, cutting traffic over, then deleting the first.
  access_token:
    type: Bearer
    header: 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'
    expires_in: 3600
    response_cache_control: no-store
    refresh_guidance: Re-authenticate every half hour for long-running processes.
  scopes: []
  scopes_note: >-
    The provider documents no OAuth scope surface. Authorization is carried by the Buzz
    Rights model (per-command rights on a domain, course, user or enrollment entity), so
    there is no scopes/ artifact for this provider.
  browser_use: >-
    Explicitly prohibited by the provider — the private key cannot be protected in a
    browser; this flow is server-side only.
- id: legacy_password_login
  type: http
  scheme: session-token
  deprecated: true
  commands:
  - Login3
  - Login2
  note: >-
    Interactive username/password sign-in that mints a session token. Login2 is listed under
    Obsolete Commands and its own page says API users should now authenticate with OAuth 2.0
    Application Identity instead. Login3 remains the like-for-like successor for interactive
    sign-in only. Enforces password policy, account lockout and multi-factor; returns
    SecondFactorRequired / SecondFactorConfigurationNowRequired when a second factor is owed.
- id: token_transport
  type: apiKey
  in: header
  name: Authorization
  alternates:
  - location: request body
    name: _token
    note: For XML/JSON POST bodies where a header cannot be sent.
  - location: query
    name: _token
    discouraged: true
    note: >-
      The provider tells callers to use the query-string form only for contexts like
      browser-embedded resource URLs, because URLs are recorded in logs.
  cookies: >-
    Cookie-based authentication tokens are deprecated by the provider for cross-site
    scripting reasons.
federation:
- protocol: SAML 2.0
  role: service provider / single sign-on for Buzz end users
  evidence: https://www.agilix.com/security
  note: Buzz supports SSO via SAML 2.0 and Google authentication; SAML single logout is documented in the API release notes.
- protocol: LTI 1.3 / OpenID Connect
  role: platform (Buzz is the LTI platform; tools launch into it)
  jwks_uri: https://api.agilixbuzz.com/lti/platform/jwks
  authentication_endpoint: https://api.agilixbuzz.com/lti/authentication
  token_endpoint: '{server}/lti/accesstoken/{entityid}'
  evidence: https://api.agilixbuzz.com/docs/entry/Concept/LTIIntegration.md
multi_factor:
  supported: true
  commands:
  - SecondFactorAuthenticate
  - CreateSecondFactorAuthenticationSecret
  - SetupSecondFactorAuthentication
  - ClearSecondFactorAuthentication
  note: >-
    TOTP-style second factor with a remembermfa token; policy-driven via the domain password
    policy's mfaenforcement attribute. A documented reason to prefer OAuth for integrations
    is that JWT assertion auth works in domains where MFA is required for administrative
    accounts.
password_policy:
  documented: true
  url: https://api.agilixbuzz.com/docs/entry/Schema/PasswordPolicy.md
  commands:
  - GetEffectivePasswordPolicy
  - CheckPasswordQuality
  note: >-
    Per-domain policy covering minimum length, character classes, entropy, breached-password
    (pwned) checking, expiry, lockout and MFA. Each requirement is inert until its matching
    enforcement attribute is set — the provider documents this explicitly.
