Authorized app with password credentials – IFS user

If the authorized app uses a service account associated with an IFS user, ION adds the X-Infor-Identity2 header with the IFS-ION-PERSON-ID to the request. If no IFS user is linked, ION does not add this header. This identifier typically contains the IFS-User-GUID.

Requests sent to LN in the context of an IFS user are logged as being sent by the corresponding LN user. This lets you see in LN and in the log data which user initiated each request.

This setup is useful, for example, when each user has an own handheld device that connects to LN using that user’s credentials.

In this scenario, each handheld device contains the credentials of a different IFS user (its owner). Consequently, requests sent to LN through a specific device are logged as sent by the LN user account that corresponds to the device’s owner. This provides traceability and accountability per device and owner.
