# Configure REST Connector with ION API file

{% hint style="info" %}
You should already have the ION API file downloaded from **Infor** as a prerequisite. If you have not yet obtained it, please take a look at the guide on [Obtaining the Infor ION API File](https://docs.novacura.com/flow-connect/working-with-connect/connect-to-systems/connectors/rest/infor-m3-rest/obtaining-infor-ion-api-file) for detailed instructions.
{% endhint %}

This section describes creating a connector configuration in Flow Connect for Infor M3 REST API's. For this documentation, we will use the following dummy **ION API file**.

````json
// dummy ionapi file
```json
{
    "ti": "ACME_Org",
    "cn": "Flow Connect DEV/TEST",
    "dt": "12",
    "ci": "ACME_Org~AbcDefHfkwSpowirmfpwieD2dD",
    "cs": "pGbQ2ZoomWDp6tPp-7Qe03p9BiJONR578tNWjl9K4Y3v-57H5HmpSc",
    "iu": "https://mingle.inforcloudsuite.com",
    "pu": "https://mingle.inforcloudsuite.com:443/ACME_Org/as/",
    "oa": "authorization",
    "ot": "token",
    "or": "revoke_token",
    "sc": [],//scopes
    "ev": "V1480769020",
    "v": "1.1",
    "saak": "pRUGUsKGS1hcL8d9qfAM8SZF4IVcsFwS",
    "sask": "BcdTlw32A95CRte6KI5hHxUSDzIdQbb7"
}
```
````

1. Add [new REST connector](https://docs.novacura.com/flow-connect/working-with-connect/connect-to-systems/connectors/rest/..#add-connector)
2. Enter the configuration values as described below. Most of these values can be constructed by inspecting the **ION API file**.

<table><thead><tr><th width="276">Configuration</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Agent Group</strong></td><td>Agent group where the connector should be executed</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Base URL</strong></td><td><p>Concatenate the values for "iu" and "ti" parameters in the format "<mark style="color:blue;">{iu}</mark><strong>/</strong><mark style="color:blue;">{ti}</mark><strong>/M3"</strong></p><p></p><p>For example: "ION_API_URL/Tenant_Identifier/M3" will be the base URL for the dummy ionapi file.</p></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Authentication Type</strong></td><td><p>Choose <strong>OAuth2 Password Credentials</strong> as the Authentication Type.</p><ul><li><strong>Token Endpoint</strong> - Concatenate the values for "pu" and "ot" parameters in the format <mark style="color:blue;">{pu}</mark><strong>/</strong><mark style="color:blue;">{ot}</mark></li><li><strong>Client ID</strong> - Use the value for "ci" parameter</li><li><strong>Client Secret</strong> - Use the value for "cs" parameter</li><li><strong>Username -</strong> Use the value for "saak" parameter</li><li><strong>Password -</strong> Use the value for "sask" parameter</li><li><strong>Scopes</strong> - Choose one or more scopes under "sc". Leave it empty if nothing is defined in the ionapi file</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table>
