vShield Edge Management

You can manage vShield Edge services and firewall policies by using REST API. By using REST call, you can
start or stop services, post and delete configurations, and get service status.
For each service, you can enable logging to view debug and audit messages. You must identify a syslog server
to receive the logs.
I All vShield REST requests require authorization. You can use the following basic authorization:
MPORTANT
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46ZGVmYXVsdA==
YWRtaW46ZGVmYXVsdA== represents the Base 64 encoding of the vShield Manager default login credentials
(admin:default).
