OAuthAPI.init

To be called in a Genero app accessing a secure RESTful Web service started behind a Genero Application Server.

Syntax

Init( 
   cnx_timeout INTEGER, 
   client_id STRING,
   client_secret STRING )
  RETURNS BOOLEAN
  1. cnx_timeout is a connection timeout to the REST service with value in seconds.
  2. client_id is the application ID assigned to the app when registered.
  3. client_secret is the application secret created for the app.

Returns FALSE if the mandatory access token is null.

Usage

Use this function to initiate information provided by the Identity Provider to access the secure RESTful Web service. It calls environment variables containing the OAuth information got from the Genero Identity Provider (GIP) or a third party Identity Provider (IdP). It registers the access token and access information (such as subject, scopes, endpoints, etc.) with the GWS engine.

In case of error, a NULL value will be returned.
