Generating an authorization token

This token can be used to access operations of all the services like data service, catalog service, Orchestrator, Archival service, and TM Forum Adapter Service.

Procedure

  1. To authorize a particular service, open the REST API home page of that service in a browser.
    Note: If the enableSecureAPI value is set as false, the authentication is bypassed and you do not have to authorize the service. For the REST services, the authorization token is not required. However, you must provide the tenantID.
  2. Click the Authorize button.

    The Available authorizations window opens.
  3. Pass the following mandatory parameters:
    Authorization parameters and description
    Element Name Element Type Description
    username String username@tenantId
    password String Existing password
    client_id String order-management-client
    client_secret String order-management-secret


  4. Select the read and write check boxes as per the requirements and then click the Authorize button.

Result

An authorization token is generated for the particular service. This token is unique and valid only for the dedicated user with tenant ID. The access token comes with an expiry.
