Unidirectional IMS

Unidirectional IMS through API Gateway, application has no IMS end point:
  1. In API Gateway, create an Authorized App of the Backend Service type.
    This authorized app represents the client side of the application, that is calling ION through API Gateway.
    1. During the creation API Gateway generates a Client ID for this application. You must specify this ID in the connection point you create in step 3.
    2. As part of the creation, you must click Download credentials. In the Download Credentials window, select Create Service Account. You do not have to associate a user, because ION does not authorize incoming requests based on user authorizations. Instead it verifies the Client ID.

      You require the downloaded credential file in step 3, where you configure the application.

  2. In ION, create the IMS through API Gateway connection point, with these points of attention
    1. Clear the Application has IMS End Point check box.
    2. For the API Gateway Client Id, specify the client ID that was generated in step 1a.
  3. At the Application side, use the Client ID credentials that were created in step 1.
