schemes:
- name: Bearer

  description: 'Please enter a valid token :'
  applies_to: SS&C Eze EMS xAPI REST surface
  sources:
  - openapi/ss-c-technologies-eze-ems-xapi-openapi.json
  note: >-
    The only securityScheme the OpenAPI declares, and it is applied globally via a root-level
    `security: [{Bearer: []}]`. The spec gives no token-issuance endpoint for this bearer token and
    no description beyond the placeholder text above.
- name: UserToken
  type: session-token
  in: query
  parameter: UserToken
  applies_to: both the gRPC and REST surfaces
  sources:
  - grpc/ss-c-technologies-xapi-utilities.proto
  - openapi/ss-c-technologies-eze-ems-xapi-openapi.json
  description: >-
    The working credential for Eze EMS xAPI. UtilityServices.Connect (REST GET
    /api/v1/authentication/connect) takes UserName, Domain, Password and Locale and returns a
    UserToken in ConnectResponse; SS&C's own tutorial states the token "must be provided on all
    subsequent calls to the server". UtilityServices.Disconnect ends the session.
  note: >-
    On the REST projection the login parameters and the UserToken are carried as QUERY parameters,
    including Password on GET /api/v1/authentication/connect and
    GET /api/v1/authentication/change-password. This is recorded because it is what the published
    contract says, not as an assessment.
- name: SRP
  type: srp
  applies_to: SS&C Eze EMS xAPI, where the client domain is SRP-enabled
  sources:
  - grpc/ss-c-technologies-xapi-utilities.proto
  - https://github.com/ezesoft/xapi/blob/master/faq.md
  description: >-
    Secure Remote Password (SRP) login, a zero-knowledge password proof, exposed as the
    StartLoginSrp / CompleteLoginSrp RPC pair (REST GET /api/v1/authentication/start-login-srp and
    /api/v1/authentication/complete-login-srp) plus ChangePasswordSRP.
  availability: >-
    SS&C's FAQ states both SRP and standard login work on an SRP-enabled domain, and only standard
    login works on a domain that is not SRP-enabled. Whether a domain is SRP-enabled is set by SS&C.
- name: MFA
  type: mfa
  applies_to: SS&C Eze EMS xAPI
  sources:
  - grpc/ss-c-technologies-xapi-utilities.proto
  description: >-
    UtilityServices.MultiFactorAuthentication (REST GET
    /api/v1/authentication/multi-factor-authentication). ConnectResponse carries MFASecurityCode,
    MFAtotpPreference and MFAtotpValue fields, so TOTP is a supported second factor.
- name: SS&C APIM OpenID Connect
  type: openIdConnect
  openIdConnectUrl: https://ssoprod.ssnc.cloud/auth/realms/APIM/.well-known/openid-configuration
  applies_to: the SS&C APIM developer portal (developer.ssctech.com / apim.ssnc.cloud)
  sources:
  - well-known/ss-c-technologies-openid-configuration.json
  description: >-
    A Keycloak realm named APIM. The discovery document advertises authorization_code,
    client_credentials, implicit, password, refresh_token, device_code, jwt-bearer, token-exchange,
    uma-ticket and CIBA grants, PKCE (S256), and a scope list that includes one API-specific scope,
    events_enrichment_api_member.
  note: >-
    This governs the developer portal and the Kong gateway it fronts, not the Eze EMS xAPI. Every
    portal catalog endpoint probed anonymously 302s to https://developer.ssctech.com/sso/login.

  self_serve: false
  note: >-
    No surface here issues credentials without a human. SS&C Eze says "Server details and
    authentication credentials will be provided by your SS&C Eze representative"; the SS&C APIM
    portal says to contact a Client Relationship manager; Black Diamond routes new partners to a
    request form and existing clients to their account team.
