M3 API using REST

Open the M3 Graphical Lot Tracker Configuration Tool and perform the following steps for each Trace Line that should use M3 API:

  • Set configuration value for .M3API:API to 'Enabled.'

  • Set configuration value for .M3API:REST to 'Enabled'. Doing so will implicitly disable M3 API using sockets.

  • Enter base url for the M3API rest service into the configuration value of .M3API:REST_URL

    Note: Note: If the https protocol is used (encrypted traffic), ensure that the Certificate authority (CA) that issued the certificate is trusted by the GLT application server.

  • If client authentication certificates are required by the M3 API REST service, issue and download the client certificate to a location on the Graphical Lot Tracker application server. Enter the location and password for the certificate into the configuration values of .M3API:CERT_PATH and .M3API:CERT_PASSWORD. Set configuration value for .M3API: CERT_AUTHENTICATION to 'Enabled'.

  • Optionally, set up user and password, if reclassification operations should be impersonated.
