Authentication Basics

To be authenticated, it is necessary to validate a client in Across Identity Server (AIS).

To do this on the server on which Across Identity Server is installed (which is usually the Across Core server), edit the file %Across Installation Folder%\Across.IdentityServer\appsettings.json and add the Clients section. It is required to restart Across Identity Server to apply the configuration changes (i.e. restart the Across.IdentityServer application pool in IIS).

Attention

Before copying the example below, delete the scopes from AllowedScopes which start with crossTerm.* and/or crossTank.* if they are unlicensed in your installation, e.g., delete the crossterm.api.writeonly scope if you don't have a crossTerm Workflows license. Otherwise, the token won't be granted and an exception will be returned.

The appsettings.json File

"Clients": [ 
  { 
    "ClientId": "MyAcrossApp", 
    "ClientName": "MyAcrossApp", 
    "AllowedScopes": [ 
      "openid", 
      "profile", 
      "email", 
      "rights", 
      "groups", 
      "crossterm.api.readonly", 
      "crossterm.api.writeonly", 
      "crosstank.api.readonly", 
      "crosstank.api.writeonly" 
    ], 
    "PlainClientSecrets": "secret", 
    "AllowedGrantTypes": [ 
      "password" 
    ] 
  } 
]

Client Authentication

A possible client authentication can look like this:

Parameter
Value
startAuthentication type
OAuth 2.0
Grant type
Resource Owner Password Credentials
Username
Valid Across user login, e.g. "Default"
Password
Password of the corresponding user
Access token URL
http://sitename/AcrossIdentityServer/connect/token
Client ID
MyAcrossApp (or any other name, be sure it matches with the Client ID in Across Identity Server configuration)
Client secret
secret

Attention

The user that obtains the authentication token from the AIS needs to have the rights to create and modify translations.

Attention

The Across Identity Server grants the application an access token. Each request to the API has to have this token in the header.
