Content API & Integration Overview
ECAI_DEMO / Environment / Overview
Enterprise integration lab. This lab demonstrates content API, systems integration, authentication, connector, orchestration and runtime service concepts.
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.

Identity & access architecture: the integration layer separates workforce identity, workload identity and downstream system credentials. Interactive users authenticate through enterprise federation; applications and connectors use non-interactive machine identity. Authorization is enforced at the API/resource layer with least-privilege scopes, roles, attributes and auditable policy decisions.
Identity Providers3federated enterprise sources
Registered Clients18web · service · connector
Active Workloads12service principals / machine IDs
Primary modern profile for interactive web access. Authorization Code + PKCE, exact redirect URI matching, issuer discovery and short-lived access tokens.
SSOPKCE
SAML 2.0 Federation
Enterprise federation profile for environments where SAML remains the established workforce sign-on standard.
Federation
OAuth Client Credentials
Non-interactive workload identity for APIs, middleware, schedulers and integration services. No human session is implied.
Machine IdentityScopes
mTLS / private_key_jwt
Asymmetric client authentication for higher-assurance service integrations and reduced dependence on reusable shared secrets.
CertificateAsymmetric
DPoP / Sender Constraint
Optional proof-of-possession pattern to reduce replay risk when bearer-token exposure is a concern and the ecosystem supports it.
PoP
Legacy / Transitional Auth
Basic auth, API keys or platform-specific credentials may exist for older endpoints; isolate, vault, rotate and constrain them rather than treating them as the preferred model.
LegacyControlled
Credential & Token Controls operational security
Client Registration
Unique client ID per application / workload; owner, environment, redirect URI, grant type and allowed resources recorded.
Token Validation
Validate signature, issuer, audience / resource, expiration, not-before, token type and required scopes / roles.
Client Authentication
Prefer asymmetric methods for confidential clients where feasible; mTLS and signed client assertions supported.
Secrets
Store in approved vault / secret manager; never embed in browser code, source control or static client-side configuration.
Rotation
Track key / certificate expiry, overlap old and new credentials during rotation and revoke superseded material.
Transport
TLS required end-to-end; certificate validation and hostname verification enforced.
Replay Resistance
Short token lifetime, nonce / state where applicable, PKCE for code flows and sender-constrained tokens where warranted.
Failure Behavior
Fail closed on invalid signature, wrong audience, expired token, missing scope, disabled client or policy denial.

Authentication is not authorization. Successful identity proof only establishes who or what is calling. Each API, connector and downstream resource still enforces what that identity may do through scopes, roles, attributes, tenant boundaries, resource ownership and explicit policy.
