API versions

Knox Configure is available in two API versions:

• The v2 API is our latest offering. It supports Knox OAuth 2.0 Authentication, and is expected to fully replace the v1 API across upcoming releases.

• The v1 API uses our legacy authentication scheme. Currently, license management, app management, and content management are v1-only.

Both v2 and v1 support device management, profile management, assigning and unassigning profiles to devices, and sending device commands. The following table compares the two API versions:
