notes: >-
  The Parallels RAS REST API is a self-hosted admin API (no downloadable OpenAPI
  spec is published). Authentication is a bespoke token scheme: administrators POST
  credentials to a logon endpoint and receive an authToken that is echoed on every
  subsequent request via the auth_token header. Not OAuth2/OIDC.
summary:
  types: [token]
  api_key_in: [header]

schemes:
- name: RASAuthToken

  in: header
  parameter: auth_token
  logon_endpoint: 'POST https://<API-host>:20443/api/session/logon'
  logon_body: '{"username": "...", "password": "...", "tenantId": ...}'
  response_field: authToken
  description: >-
    Log on with administrator credentials to obtain an authToken, then send it in
    the auth_token header on all subsequent requests. Tokens are session-scoped.
- name: SSO
  type: sso
  scope: Parallels My Account / Management Portal
  description: >-
    Parallels Desktop Enterprise and the Management Portal support SSO with
    Azure/Entra ID, Okta, Ping Identity, JumpCloud, and Google Workspace via
    Parallels My Account (product sign-in, distinct from the RAS REST API token).
