M3 Rest API - How to generate OAuth2 token as we have on-premise environment (No Mingle Portal or I

Legacy Contributor

Hello

We have developed few custom API's using CMS100MI as Lst.. and I am not sure we have Mingle portal or Ion API Gateway, and our external supplier wants to consume M3-Rest-API's?

Can anyone suggest me how to generate & obtain the Token Authorization.

Thanks

With an On Premise install, and not having IONAPI, you'll have to develop a Proxy Service and then work with your network administrator to provide a secure method of the proxy communicating with the M3 Rest API.  This must be developed with security and DoS protections in mind before being made public.  I've seen it done with a DMZ to host the proxy and communicate with M3 that way.

If you have ION, you could call the API on a schedule, use the generated BOD to create an XML file, and send it to the vendor via any standard connection points.  If the request is real time, of course this wouldn't work.
