How to pass certificate over rest request?

I am building an application which registers an external IdP with Okta.
Okta API doc.



In order to do that, I need IdP certificate & other meta data from the user.



Thus workflow will look like this:





  • User calls my endpoint and provides me with Idp details ( certificate
    & meta data )



    My application will then use the user provided Idp Details to call
    Okta and register the IdP.




However, how should user provide me with Idp ceritificate - encrypted or un-encrypted?






api certificate okta

          If you are using https everything is already encrypted. Assuming there is some sort of authentication to access your application, I would probably just proxy the parameters to the Okta API (maybe with some validation to avoid sending known bad requests).



          Does that help?

                    How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

                    Image
                    3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

                    Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

                    Image
                    up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
