POST /api/config/get

Read a FILTERED projection of the key server configuration.

WARNING: this is an allow-listed projection, not the configuration. The key server returns its configuration as raw XML with cleartext credentials in it -- database and directory bind credentials, default-principal ones, private-key ones -- and nothing on that path redacts them. This route therefore names what MAY leave rather than what may not, and everything else is dropped.

allowList in the response is that table, reported so you can see what you are and are not getting. suppressed counts nodes in the requested subtree that carried no allow-listed tag -- which is a different fact from the subtree being empty.

Element TEXT is not projected at all: the parser exposes attributes only, so the allowed-algorithm list is not here. Read it from the login response instead.

WARNING: the root is the LITERAL STRING ROOT, not /. A /-rooted path does not resolve. Below the root the separator is a DOT, and identity addressing is Tag[@attr=value] -- so DataSources.DataSource[@key=DS01] resolves and /Configuration/DataSources does not. An empty string is neither a synonym for the root nor a wildcard.

Authentication

Send the session id as Authorization: Bearer <session id>, and an RFC 9449 DPoP proof in the DPoP header if your session is bound to a key. The two are required together, not as alternatives — see Authenticating and Proving you hold your key.

This surface sets no cookie

There is no session cookie on any response and none is read on any request. Do not set credentials: "include" on a browser fetch.

Request

Field	Type	Required	Description
xpath	string	yes	The literal ROOT, or a dot-separated path such as DataSources.DataSource[@key=DS01].

400

The request was refused before anything was sent to the key server.

Most 400s on this surface carry code: BAD_REQUEST and a detail naming the field and saying what the key server would otherwise have done with it. A large share of them exist because the value would have been ACCEPTED downstream and quietly meant something else -- an empty string that reaches the wire as "mint a new key", a zero-length identifier that names no object, a numeric flag word that clears bits the caller did not name.

401

No live session, or a DPoP proof that did not verify.

SESSION_NOT_FOUND -- the credential names no session this Gateway holds. SESSION_EXPIRED -- it aged out. Both carry reauth: true; obtain a new credential rather than retrying.

PROOF_* -- the sender constraint refused. See the DPoP section of this document for the full table; PROOF_MALFORMED is a 400 and PROOF_REPLAY_CACHE_FULL a 503, and the rest are here.

SCOPED_CREDENTIAL_EXPIRED -- a scoped browser credential passed its fixed lifetime. Use does not extend it: an idle timeout would be refreshed by exactly the traffic a stolen handle produces.

403

Authenticated, and refused. The codes differ in what they say about where the refusal came from: ACCESS_DENIED and PRINCIPAL_DISABLED are the key server's, while NOT_WRITABLE, BUILT_IN_PRINCIPAL, OWN_ACCOUNT and OBJECT_NOT_IN_CREDENTIAL_SCOPE are decided by the Gateway before anything is sent.

500

A fault rather than a refusal.

OP_FAILED is the catch-all: the key server refused in words that match no classified pattern, so the Gateway cannot say more than that the operation did not happen. Some key server refusals that are conceptually a caller error arrive here rather than as a 4xx, because the wire carries no distinguishing code -- where a route can recognise one from its message it maps it, and each such mapping is documented on the operation.

503

A capacity ceiling or a missing deployment prerequisite. retryable says which.

A scope of session or process names the ceiling that was hit, and the response carries Retry-After.

Error handling

Every failure answers JSON carrying at least code and detail. Match on code — detail is written for a human debugging the call and its wording is not part of the contract. See the error model.
