# Linux_Patch_API - API Specification Document
|
|
|
|
## API Overview
|
|
|
|
**Purpose:** Secure REST API for remote package and patch management on Linux systems
|
|
|
|
**Design Philosophy:**
|
|
- Pure REST architecture (resources as nouns, HTTP verbs for actions)
|
|
- mTLS certificate-based authentication (no sessions)
|
|
- Hybrid execution model (sync for quick ops, async for long ops)
|
|
- Real-time status via WebSocket streaming
|
|
- JSON request/response with standard envelope
|
|
|
|
**Base Path:** `/api/v1/`
|
|
**Protocol:** HTTPS (TLS 1.3 only)
|
|
**Port:** 12443
|
|
**Trailing Slashes:** Not required
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
|
|
### Authentication Method
|
|
- **Type:** mTLS Certificate-Based Authentication
|
|
- **CA:** Internal self-hosted Certificate Authority
|
|
- **Certificate Validity:** 1 year maximum
|
|
- **Client Identity:** Unique certificate per client
|
|
- **Session Management:** None (stateless)
|
|
|
|
### Authorization
|
|
- **Method:** IP Whitelist Enforcement
|
|
- **Default:** Deny all (block unless explicitly allowed)
|
|
- **Permissions:** Binary (whitelisted IP + valid cert = full access)
|
|
- **No Granular Permissions:** All authenticated clients have full API access
|
|
|
|
### Connection Requirements
|
|
- Valid client certificate signed by internal CA
|
|
- Client IP must be in whitelist configuration
|
|
- TLS 1.3 only
|
|
- Silent drop for non-compliant connections (no response)
|
|

|
## Rate Limiting
|
|
|
|
**Not Required:** Internal network only with strict IP whitelist
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Versioning Strategy
|
|
|
|
- **Method:** URL Path Versioning (`/api/v1/`)
|
|
- **Backward Compatibility:** Breaking changes require new major version
|
|
- **Deprecation:** Old versions supported for 6 months after new version release
|
|
- **Current Version:** v1
|
