Provisioning is supported via a REST HTTP Interface which is implemented using the standard HTTP methods  GET, PUT, POST and DELETE. The interface supports XML and JSON formats.

The REST HTTP Interface runs on the EC Web Interface and is started when the EC process is started. Authentication is performed against the platform, if possible. If the platform is unreachable the user is authenticated against the locally defined user (configured in  EC web interface properties).
