Policies

Retrieve one specific Subject for a specific Label of a specific policy

GET
https://ditto.eclipseprojects.io/api/2/policies/{policyId}/entries/{label}/subjects/{subjectId}

Returns the subject with ID subjectId of the policy entry identified by the policyId path parameter, and by the label path parameter.

Parameters

policyIdstringrequiredpath

The ID of the policy needs to follow the namespaced entity ID notation (see Ditto documentation on namespaced entity IDs).

The namespace needs to:

  • conform to the reverse domain name notation
labelstringrequiredpath

The label of a policy entry

subjectIdstringrequiredpath

The ID of an (Authorization) Subject

If-Matchstringheader

The If-Match header which has to conform to RFC-7232 (Conditional Requests). Common usages are:

  • optimistic locking by specifying the ETag from a previous HTTP response, e.g. If-Match: "hash:a75ece4e"
  • retrieving or modifying a resource only if it already exists, e.g. If-Match: *
If-None-Matchstringheader

The If-None-Match header, which has to conform to RFC-7232 (Conditional Requests). A common usage scenario is to modify a resource only if it does not yet exist, thus to create it, by specifying If-None-Match: *.

timeoutstringquery

Defines how long the backend should wait for completion of the request, e.g. applied when waiting for requested acknowledgements via the requested-acks param. Can be specified without unit (then seconds are assumed) or together with s, ms or m unit. Example: 42s, 1m.

The default (if omitted) and maximum timeout is 60s. A value of 0 applies fire and forget semantics for the command resulting in setting response-required=false.

Response

200OKSubjectEntry

The request successfully returned completed and returned is the Subject.

Response headers
ETagstringheader

The (current server-side) ETag for this (sub-)resource. For top-level resources it is in the format "rev:[revision]", for sub-resources it has the format "hash:[calculated-hash]".

Response fields application/json

Single (Authorization) Subject entry holding its type.

typestringrequired

The type is offered only for documentation purposes. You are not restricted to any specific types, but we recommend to use it to specify the kind of the subject as shown in our examples.

expirystring<date-time>

The optional expiry timestamp (formatted in ISO-8601) indicates how long this subject should be considered active before it is automatically deleted from the Policy.

announcementSubjectAnnouncement

Settings for announcements to be made about the subject.

Show child attributes
beforeExpirystring

The duration before expiry when an announcement should be made. Must be a positive integer followed by one of h (hour), m (minute) or s (second).

whenDeletedboolean

Whether an announcement should be made when this subject is deleted.

requestedAcksobject

Settings to enable at-least-once delivery for policy announcements.

Show child attributes
labelsArray<string>

Acknowledgement labels to request when an announcement is published.

timeoutstring

How long to wait for requested announcements before retrying publication of an announcement.

Example
{
  "labels": [
    "my-connection-id:my-issued-acknowledgement"
  ],
  "timeout": "5s"
}
randomizationIntervalstring5m

Interval in which the announcement can be sent earlier than the configured beforeExpiry. The actual point in time when the announcement will be sent is beforeExpire plus a randomly chosen time within the randomizationInterval. E.g assuming beforeExpiry is set to 5m and randomizationInterval is set to 1m, the announcements will be sent between 5 and 6 minutes before the subject expires. If omitted, the default value will be applied. If set to minimum, no randomization will be applied.

Example
{
  "beforeExpiry": "5m",
  "whenDeleted": true,
  "randomizationInterval": "5m"
}
Example
{
  "type": "This is some description for this subject, adjust as needed.",
  "expiry": "2020-12-07T11:36:40Z",
  "announcement": {
    "beforeExpiry": "5m",
    "whenDeleted": true
  }
}
304Not Modified

The (sub-)resource has not been modified. This happens when you specified a If-None-Match header which matches the current ETag of the (sub-)resource.

Response headers
ETagstringheader

The (current server-side) ETag for this (sub-)resource. For top-level resources it is in the format "rev:[revision]", for sub-resources it has the format "hash:[calculated-hash]".
