Java thick clients

API Gateway inbound security requires client application to use OAuth 2.0 tokens to access API Gateway resources.

Thick client applications must implement an OAuth 2.0 authorization code grant flow to obtain tokens from Infor IFS and use the tokens to consume API Gateway.

This section describes the steps required for Java-based thick-client applications to consume API Gateway resources. Additionally, this section includes a sample implementation. The process requires these steps:

  • Acquire the OAuth Client
  • Obtain the OAuth Token
  • Use the OAuth Token to consume API Gateway
