Infor Operating Service, IFS and ION API

IFS is a part of Infor Operating Service.

Prerequisites to use IFS authentication in the web

These are the prerequisites that you must meet for IFS:

  • Have the correct certificates for the required servers available before you connect IFS.
  • IFS requires that HTTPS is used for these public URLs of the farm:
    • Public URL for Dashboards
    • Public URL for Office Integration
  • The user that runs the Service Expert and the accounts that run Service Controller and the Infor d/EPM Platform services must be registered in IFS. The users must be assigned to the AttributeServiceCaller role.
  • The Infor Ming.le/IFS certificate must be trusted on the Infor d/EPM Platform servers to complete the Infor d/EPM Platform configuration.

If IFS authentication in the web is used, the client application can use either basic authentication or IFS authentication.

Using IFS authentication in desktop and mobile clients

If IFS authentication is used for web access security, you can select how users must be authenticated.

If IFS authentication is used, you must configure ION API.

If basic authentication is used, ION API configuration is not required.

For configuring IFS and ION API, see the Infor Operating Service Installation Guide.
