I have troubles finding even base material on how to prepare the security needed to have a 3rd party application using a REST API. First step I want to use is Postman. With that authorization settings are needed. Which should I use? A user with user type: Service User? Where to use OAuth in IFS?

All ideas welcome.

Hi, 

Please refer to https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r1/040_tailoring/300_extensibility/010_get_started/400_quickstarts/010_auth/ for the basic instructions on authentication and the initial setup in IFS cloud. The other pages within the same section will give you an idea on various operations that can be performed using Postman.

Hi Steve, our instructions for the setup on IFS side for our Cloud connector do not have the exact same scope, but it may help you to see how the Novacura IFS cloud connector handles the authentication part of the IFS REST endpoint:

Hi, the IFS Technical documentation for authentication process with integrations can be found here: https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/23r2/030_administration/010_security/040_iam_settings/050_authentication_for_integrations/
We are also working on a quick start guide to this, which I can share once IFS Cloud 24R1 is released soon.
