  note: >-
    The Remote API authenticates over HTTP Basic against Webmin's own user database,
    the same credentials as the web interface. It is accessible only to the master
    administrator (typically the Unix `root` account) for security reasons; there is
    no OAuth, API-key or token scheme. The command-line API instead relies on local
    Unix root/system access. No OAuth scopes exist, so no scopes/ artifact is produced.

  type: http
  scheme: basic
  description: >-
    HTTP Basic authentication as the Webmin master administrator against
    https://<host>:10000/virtual-server/remote.cgi. Sent as standard Authorization
    headers (e.g. wget --http-user / --http-passwd, or LWP credentials against the
    "Webmin Server" realm).
