M3 Web Services User Setup and Authentication

All web service calls will be validated by the session provider that is configured in Infor ION Grid. This means that all calls to web services must be done with a user that can be validated by the active session provider.

For information about how to configure a Session Provider, see Infor ION Grid Extensions installation and Administration Guide.

In order to access some administrative functions of the M3 Web Services management pages, the user must be authenticated and belong to either the grid-admin or MWS/app-admin role. To setup user accounts with the MWS/app-admin or grid-admin role. For more information, consult the Grid documentation.

  • When accessing the M3 Web Services management pages from LifeCycle Manager, the grid-admin role is automatically used.

  • The MWS/app-admin role is only necessary for users who access the management pages outside of LifeCycle Manager, for example, users for whom administrative access should be limited to only M3 Web Services-specific functions.

Note: For SQL-based web services, the user name/password for the database is set in the SQL Configuration, but the call must still be made by a user that can be validated by the session provider.
