Configure the MES Web API to use a user access token

1. In the Work Tasks Central Configuration web application, make sure that a token service that uses the AVEVA Identity Manager has been configured.

   For more information, see the Work Tasks Installation chapter in the MES Model-Driven Application Installation Guide.

2. In Enterprise Console, open the Web API List page (click Settings, then click Web API).

3. Click New.

   

4. On the Web API List Item page, enter values for the following properties:

   • Name The name of the list item (e.g., MESWebAPI).

   • Description A description of the list item.

   • Source Select Generic.

   • Base Address The base URI for the MES Web API, which has the format https://hostname/mesmw/. Make sure that you include the forward slash (/) at the end of the URI.

   • Request (URI) Enter api.

   • Authentication Mode Select User Access Token.

5. Click Save to save your entries.

Now you can add a Web API lookup within a grid in a work flow form or for other functionality for which lookups are supported. See Add a Web API lookup for an MES Web API endpoint.
