Host UI applications and REST APIs on the same server
From Jean-Sébastien Clisse js.clisse@aremis.com:
The main issue [with REST APIs] for us will be the fact that we cannot run the Webcentral and the API at the same time. It always difficult to convince our customers to build/maintain a second webserver. Even if it’s on the same machine because it takes hardware resources (like RAM) and human resource to maintain the server.
v25.1 requires separate servers: https://serraview.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/590251436/REST+API+-+System+Integrator+s+Guide#Configure-Web-Central

Greg, As of 25.3, a separate server is not required for SSO with SAML, You will need to establish the routing via Reverse Proxy to route the API requests without Shibboleth, as it has it's own separate auth via Oauth2.0 token.

This needs to ALSO be available when SSO is enabled. There is still a requirement to have a separate service if SAML SSO is enabled.

This improvement is tracked as AD-2652. The solution is still experimental at this stage, and has not been verified in QA. Use it at your own risk. Please contact Fred Kraus for solution documentation and files.

it's hard to justify the expense to our Clients when other enterprise solutions and ARCHIBUS Connectors all can use REST API in the main application without needing a second server
