To use Okta for authorization instead of SAM, see Set up Okta as the authorization server.

  1. In Smart API Manager (SAM), register your VDS Web Server as a new Smart API with the following information:

    Ways to register your Smart API - the URL for the Smart API service description.

    URL - the URL location of the VDS Web Server: https://[yourservername].[domain.com]/vds/3d/gds/v1

If VDS runs on a port other than the default SSL port (443), that port must be specified in the URL location of the VDS web server. For example, if VDS is configured to run on port 22419, your URL string should be:

https://[yourservername].[domain.com]:22419/vds/3d/gds/v1

Secret - the value generated by the Smart API Manager when creating the Smart API. This is not required for the VDS Web Server.

Service ID - the value generated by the Smart API Manager when creating the Smart API.

  1. Add the same authorized groups used in your solution for other products to the Smart API.

    • If your environment is using Named User authorization as the identity provider, the VDS Smart API must also provide access to the same authorized group.

    • If your environment is using IWA authentication as the identity provider, the VDS Smart API must also provide access to the same authorized group as your client application Smart API.

  2. Record the Resource Identifier (ID) of the registered web API. The identifier is required when editing the VDS Configuration Utility properties in Configure Security Settings for the VDS Web Server.

  3. Return to the VDS Configuration Utility. Replace the default value with the Resource Identifier you just recorded into Security Settings > Audience ID (Service/Resource ID). See Security Settings.
