Create the application and generate the access token

In order to configure CONNECT as the identity provider, you need to create an application in the CONNECT portal, create a client ID, and then generate an access token. The client ID and access token will be used by a client to connect and register with AIM.

1. Sign on to CONNECT.

2. On the main menu, select Integrations. 

   The Integrations page opens.

3. Select Applications, then select Create application.

   The Applications page opens.

   1. In the Redirect URLs section, add the following redirect URLs: 

      • https://localhost/identitymanager/signin-avevaconnect 

      • https://<fully-qualified-machine-name>/identitymanager/signin-avevaconnect 

      • https://<machine-name>/identitymanager/signin-avevaconnect 

   2. In the Logout URLs section, add the following logout URLs: 

      • https://localhost/identitymanager/signedout-callback-avevaconnect 

      • https:// <fully-qualified-machine-name> /identitymanager/signedout-callback-avevaconnect 

      • https://<machine-name>/identitymanager/signedout-callback-avevaconnect 

   3. Select the Type drop down arrow, then select PCS On-Premises Identity Integration.

      The exact wording of the available Type field option will vary.

   4. Select Save.

      A client Id is created for the application. This client ID is required later at registration with the AVEVA Identity Manager.

4. Create the access token required for the AVEVA Identity Manager registration: 

   1. Navigate to the Integrations page and then select Access tokens. 

   2. Select Create access token. 

   3. Assign a name to the token.

   4. Select Advanced, then select Access Token Configuration. 

   5. Select the Roles drop down arrow, then select On-Premise Identity Integration (AIM). 

   6. Create the token and then copy the access token to a secure location.
