Adding an ION API server

To be able to access and use the resources of an ION API server, that server must first be "registered" in your base application.

  1. Open the ION API Servers form and initiate a new record.
  2. Provide this information:
    Server ID
    This field is automatically populated, but you can change it. Typically, this ID is a non-negative integer, with zero (0) being reserved for the default ION API server.
    Note: If you are using the server to enable the Data Lake IDO Wizard, you must designate the server as the default ION API server. To do this, set this field to 0 (zero).
    Description
    Optionally, specify a helpful description for the server.
    Server URL
    Optionally, specify the URL of the ION API server.

    This field is for documentation purposes only. The actual URL is derived from the .ionapi file.

    STS URL
    Specify the address of the WS-Trust STS (Security Token Service) endpoint. This is available from the environment’s idp.properties file, under the property name idp.wstrust.sts.url.
    Token URL
    Specify the address of the OAuth token endpoint. This is available from the environment’s idp.properties file, under the property name idp.oauth.token.url.
    Import .ionapi file
    Use this button to browse for an .ionapi file.

    You can get the .ionapi file from the Infor ION API provisioning page.

    Note: The .ionapi exists check box is automatically selected once the .ionapi file is imported.
    Import Private Key
    Use this button to browse for a private key, in .json format.
    You must import a .ionapi first to enable this button.
    Note: The Private Key Exist check box is automatically selected once the record is saved.
    Import Suites
    Optionally, use this button to search for and select an ION API server suite. When a suite is imported, information about the suite displays in the Suites grid.
    Suites
    Optionally, use this button to launch the ION API Suites form, in which you can define a suite (or group) of ION API servers.

    When you create a suite using that form and save it, it is automatically added to this form and information about it displays in the Suites grid when you refresh the form.

  3. Save.
