API execution models: synchronous generation supports low-latency, single-document requests; asynchronous batch generation supports high-throughput scheduled output. Idempotency keys, correlation IDs, callback/webhook status, scoped authorization and retry-safe processing are shown as neutral enterprise patterns.

Authentication / authorization: enterprise access is separated into human sign-in and service-to-service access. The lab demonstrates SSO, MFA, federation, RBAC, scoped API credentials, session controls and audit correlation.
Human Authentication SSO / federation
OIDC / OAuth 2.0
Primary web SSO profile for browser users. Authorization Code + PKCE, short-lived access token, refresh policy, issuer and audience validation.
SSOPKCE
SAML 2.0
Federation option for enterprise identity providers where SAML remains the established sign-on protocol.
Federation
MFA
Step-up authentication for administrative, publishing and sensitive document operations.
Required for Admin
Session Controls
Idle timeout, absolute session lifetime, re-authentication for privileged actions and logout propagation.
Policy
Service Authentication machine identity
OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials
Server-to-server generation requests using scoped client identity rather than interactive user sessions.
APIScopes
JWT Validation
Validate signature, issuer, audience, expiration, not-before and correlation claims before accepting generation traffic.
Signed
mTLS / Secret Rotation
Optional mutual TLS for trusted services; rotate certificates, client secrets and signing keys without application downtime.
