Clients

Clients are used for authenticating third party applications accessing InfoLink REST API or REST API services created using API Management.

To manage clients, go to the home page and click on the Settings tab and scroll to the Clients section. You will see a list of all clients.

To create a client, click + Create client button, then:

• Enter Client name - any name that will be used only for reporting errors.
• Select Default user on whom behalf all the API calls will be executed.
• Enable Authentication types you want to use for the client: OAuth Password, OAuth Client Credentials, API Key.
• Click Submit button. You will see a modal confirmation window that contains Client ID, Client secret, API Key depending on the Authentication types you enabled. Store them as you will not be able to see Client secret and API Key again.

You can edit or delete a client using Edit or Delete buttons on the corresponding raw in the client list. When you edit a client and enable any type of Authentication for the first time you will see a modal confirmation with the corresponding credentials generated (store them as you will not enable them again). All subsequent actions to enable/disable any authentication type will not regenerate the credentials and thus will not display a modal confirmations.
