Maximo

Hi Steven,

We are in 7.6.1.3 and trying to integrate via OAuth 2.0. I have created the End Point and populated URL, username, password and HPPTEXIT. Should I populate OATHCLIENT? Also, should I create a new OATH Clients record via End Point --> Select action Add/Modify Clients?  

My initial thought was to create an automation script for the Publish Channel for UserExit and somehow override the URL or Add Headers via the IntegrationContext.getCurrentContext() or via EndPointCache.getInstance().getEndPointInfo("ENDPOINTNAME").getProperty("URL").

Thank you,

Rajesh Vijayakumar 

Hello Experts,

I have a requirement to connect Maximo with an HTTP endpoint that uses a token-based authorization method using OAUTH2. Although Maximo does not support OAUTH2 authorization yet, I developed an automation script that generates the API key (using client credentials, client secret) and updates the header in HTTP Endpoint. The solution was working very well until recently the HTTP endpoint is now configured in Google APIGEE. 

After the change, my current script is unable to generate the API key. 

I have recently found out that python-requests package (https://pypi.org/project/requests/) lets me generate the API key with new Endpoint. 

Since this is an additional library not embedded in Maximo, I am looking for a solution to import this package in Maximo EAR and make it available for use in Automation Script.

My question is how do I import python libraries in the Maximo server and enable it?

I am using Maximo 7.6.1.1 with a Transportation add-on.

Thanks

Step #1 is to create the OAUTH client. You can use the Add/Modify Clients or send it via REST API (documented here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/maximo-manage/continuous-delivery?topic=handlers-configuring-oauth-access)

Step #2 is to set the OAUTHCLIENT field property on the end point based on what you created above. Then the Maximo integration framework should manage it for you. You should not need to do anything special to override the headers at that point.

Can you please check the below Token URL? What would the redirect_uri for Maximo? I have provided a valid ClientID/Client Secret and grant type = "client_credentials"

Token URL: https://xxxx.az.gov/portal/sharing/rest/oauth2/authorize?redirect_uri=http://maximo24:9080/maximo/ui&expiration=20160.

Getting the below error when I Test the End Point... Seems to be missing.expiryinsec

Steve,

Is there any plans to add OAUTH support for Inbound integrations as well? I am at a client that needs to use OAUTH for a custom logon/user creation authentication functionality into Maximo.

Thanks,

Miller

If you're able to get to 7.6.1.3 or are on MAS, just be aware that we added support for OAuth 2.0 to our endpoints out of the box. I wouldn't recommend writing your own method for generating refresh tokens once you get to these versions.

Hello Kushal,
Could you share the automation script that generate API key, please?
