Create a UAA Reader Client Using the UAA Config Tool

About this task

To fetch Historian data, previously, you had to manually add each user to iH security groups. Only then the users could fetch the data. Now, this process has been simplified. All you must do is create a UAA client. The UAA client will be automatically added to the iH Readers security group on the server side. Therefore, you can use the client to fetch Historian data using REST APIs.

Procedure

  1. Access the UAA Config tool, which is located in the following folder y default: C:\Program files\GE Digital\Historian Config
  2. Access Command Prompt as an administrator, and then run the following command:
    uaa_config_tool add_historian_reader_client -u <client name> -p <client password> 
    -n <username> -s <password> -t https://<UAA URI>:443/uaa
    To create a client named client1:
    uaa_config_tool add_historian_reader_client -u client1 -p password123 
    -n user1 -s userpassword123 -t https://UAAURI2010:443/uaa
    The UAA reader client is created. However, if it already exists, a message appears, stating the same.
