Implementing Cisco Service Provider Advanced Solutions (SPCOR2) — Question 12

How are authentication credentials sent in a Cisco APIC REST API authorization request?

Answer options

• A. by using OAuth
• B. in a token in the header
• C. by using Basic Auth
• D. in JSON in the payload

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as authentication credentials for the Cisco APIC REST API are sent in a token within the request header. Options A and C represent different methods of authentication that are not used in this context, while option D incorrectly suggests that credentials are included in the JSON payload instead of the header.
