Java thick clients

ION API inbound security requires client application to use OAuth 2.0 tokens to access Infor ION API 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 ION API.

This section describes the steps required for Java-based thick-client applications to consume ION API 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 ION API
