  note: >-
    Parallels RAS REST API uses a custom session-token scheme. The client logs
    on with administrator credentials and receives an authToken, which is then
    supplied on every subsequent request via the auth_token request header. The
    API is served by the self-hosted RAS server (default TCP port 20443), so the
    token is issued and validated by the customer's own RAS deployment, not by a
    Parallels-hosted identity provider. There is no OAuth2/OIDC on the REST API.
