  The Fortify on Demand v3 Swagger document does not declare securityDefinitions,
  but the published API documentation and every operation description ("Allowed
  Scopes: ...") document the real authentication model. FoD supports OAuth 2.0
  client-credentials grant against a token endpoint, plus Personal Access Tokens
  (managed via the PersonalAccessTokens resource) and tenant API keys (managed via
  the ApiKeyManagement resource). Scopes gate each operation; see
  scopes/fortify-software-scopes.yml.

    the token may call.
