IAM Client Configuration

Creating a new IAM Client

A generic recipe to create a new IAM client is provided below. This supplements the official guide here. Service specific attributes e.g. grant types, scopes, redirect_uris are specific to the service that the client is for & can be found in the corresponding service documentation.

1. Create an Account (if not previously created):

   • Register if you are not a member or log in here.

2. Log in and Set Up a Client

   • Go to the dashboard here.

3. Configure the Client

   • Navigate to My Clients and select New Client.

   • On the Main tab:

     • Enter a suitable name in the format service_<node>_<servicename>, e.g. service_skaosrc_gatekeeper

     • Enter a description of what this service is for.

4. Configure Redirect URIs

   • On the Main tab:

     • Add any redirect uris required for this service.

5. Grant types

   • On the Grant types tab:

     • Select the grant types required for the service.

6. Authorised Scopes

   • On the Scopes tab:

     • Select the scopes required for the the service. Custom scopes can be added using the text box at the bottom of the page.

7. Save the Client

   • Make sure you save the client before leave the page. The button is at the bottom.

The client ID and secret are available on the Main and Credentials tab respectively; they will need to be provided to the service using the client.
