A civic firewall automation job must create network objects on a threat-defense device managed by Firepower Device Manager. What is the correct first hop before any object call?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
FDM hands you a gate pass first—the password-grant token—then every object call shows that Bearer badge. Pasting Basic auth onto /object/networks skips the ticket booth.
Full Explanation
Firepower Device Manager object calls require Authorization: Bearer. The constructed first hop is POST /api/fdm/latest/fdm/token (or versioned /api/fdm/vN/fdm/token) with JSON grant_type=password plus username and password. Basic auth on /object/networks is the wrong pattern. Webex three-legged OAuth and Meraki Dashboard headers belong to other platforms and do not replace the FDM token resource.
