This functionality was removed in Update 23. Beginning with Update 23, Smart API Manager is the default authorization server provided with HxGN SDx. For more information, see Prepare an authorization server.

You can generate an OAuth authorization token that can be used to interact with the API Services using a REST client application, such as Postman or Fiddler.

There are multiple different types of OAuth flow, the most common of which are Resource Owner and Implicit. The Web Client uses the Implicit flow type, which relies on a redirect mechanism that uses a web page to accept the generated token.

You must have configured an OAuth client application entry in the Intergraph Authorization Server with a client ID and client name. For information on how to register a client application, see Register applications (retired).

  • The full description of OAuth and how the different mechanisms within it work is outside the scope of this document.

  • You can configure access to the Web APIs from an external application using IWA authentication. For more information, see Configure OAuth for IWA (retired).
