Backend applications (Java or .Net)

Backend applications are applications that do not have a user available to authenticate.

For these applications, the recommended grant to use is the resource owner.

Because of the disparity for the location of the Infor Ming.le identities, a new set of credentials is used for the resource owner grant. Through the resource owner grant, only service accounts can be authenticated. A service account can be associated with a user by making the call to the backend application on behalf of the user. The administrator of the ION API Gateway creates the service account in IFS and registers your application.
