Adapter registration

The API UrlNotify, which is supplied by HTTP-based IMPACT gateway is the first operation that the Adapter must call with IMPACT. When a request is received in IMPACT, the server validates the Adapter and authorizes it.

IMPACT does the following:

Records the IP address and the port
Uses it for all the future interactions with the Adapter

Following is an example for UrlNotify payload. The URL mentioned in the following payload is of the Adapter.

http://<impact_hostname>:<port>/m2m/device 
{
"urlNotify": {
"url": http://demo.iot.com:9090
"protocol":"HTTP"
}
}

Note:

All REST methods (including urlNotify) to IMPACT from the Adapter must have the following HTTP headers for authentication.

x-adaptation_layer_id: This is the adaptationLayerName specified in IMPACT.
Authorization: Authorization is the Basic form with the base64 encoded value of the username and the secret concatenated using a colon (:) separator. Secret is the value generated as part of create token request. For example, if the token request returns:
```
{
  "msg": "Success", "tokenResponse": {
    "token": "1jylmg8lwa1cy",
    "secret": "iJ6ZIaJNUsILm3WGNr55LDDCV3iQ+RjmOcQbY2IGquY=", 
    "username": "Test1234"
  }
}
```
The generated secret key must be used as a password in any REST client.
Then the encoding is: base64_encoded(“Test1234:iJ6ZIaJNUsILm3WGNr55LDDCV3iQ+RjmOcQbY2IGquY=”), and hence the Authorization field is “Basic VGVzdDEyMzQ6aUo2WklhSk5Vc0lMbTNXR05yNTVMRERDVjNpUStSam1PY1FiWTJJR3F1WT0=”
