Adding Provided REST API Applications
Creating an Application Pool for the Provided REST API in IIS
Before adding the application, a separate Application Pools for each of the Provided REST APIs should be created.
To add a new Application Pool in the IIS Manager, right click on Application Pools in the pane on
the right side and select
Add Application Pool....
See the 'Adding REST API Application
Pools' page for more information about adding Application Pools for Provided REST API.
Adding An Application in IIS
From within the IIS Manager an application should be added for each Provided REST API to your environment. To do so,
expand your main Web Site (in our example it is called "Default AMT Web Site"), then right click on
AMT and select Add
application.
Set the Alias name that will identify the API and set the Application Pool to the corresponding AMT application pool created in the previous section for the API.
The path should be set to the API directory inside the common/RestApiProvider folder of the generated AMT Application. For example:
| Alias: | CM_REST |
| Application pool: | AMT_CM_REST |
| Physical path: | C:\AMT\Apps\CUSTOMER_MANAGEMENT\Binaries\Common\RestApiProvider\PRA_CUSTOMER |
 |

Setting the correct Authentication method
After adding the REST API application, the correct Authentication method need to be set for the Provided REST API.
There are two possible methods to access and use AMT Provided REST API web services: Windows
authentication, where the windows credentials are supplied via the REST API to log into AMT,
and cookie authentication, where a username and password of an AMT user are supplied via the
REST API to log into AMT.
Select the newly created application in the IIS Manager and open Authentication (found in the middle pane). Depending
on the method of authentication they need to be set up as follows:
Windows Authentication
For Windows Authentication, only Windows Authentication needs to be set to Enabled and the other forms of authentication need to be set to Disabled.
Cookie Authentication (username/password)
For Cookie Authentication, only the Anonymous Authentication needs to be set to Enabled and the other forms of authentication need to be set to Disabled.
