Luminate Online Web Services API Configuration

To configure your Luminate Online system for use with Luminate Online Web Services:

  1. Log in to Luminate Online as a system administrator.
  2. Go to Setup on the menu, and choose Site Options.
  3. On the Site Options screen, click the Open API Configuration tab.

A dashboard screen will open showing the configuration status of the various Luminate Online API options. Under the section heading Configure API Keys click on the link Edit API Keys. Enter a value in the Luminate Online API Key field and click the Finish button.

Next, under the section heading Configure Luminate Online Web Services click on the link Edit Web Service configuration. On this screen the system administrator must specify the IP range of servers allowed to access Luminate Online Web Services. The administrator can also quickly generate a default partition of the Luminate Online database for access through Luminate Online Web Services, restricting access to data on only those constituents who are not site administrators.

Options on this page include:

  • Luminate Online Web Services URI -- Set this field if the Luminate Online Web Services process runs on a separate system from the Luminate Online Website. Otherwise, leave this field blank.
  • Luminate Online Web Services IP White List -- Designates servers which may access Luminate Online Web Services using CIDR notation. To permit access from single IP address, use a 32-bit mask value (e.g. 192.168.1.100/32). To permit access from all addresses on a class-C subnet, use a 24-bit mask (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24).
  • Add Current IP Address to list -- Optionally, use this button to automatically add the IP address of the system on which you are running the Luminate Online Admin application to the White List.
  • Remove Selected IP Range -- Use this button to remove servers from the IP White List by clicking the server's IP range in the list to highlight it, then clicking the button.
  • Create Default Partition -- You must create a partition for Luminate Online Web Services. Click the Create button to automatically create a default database partition that may be accessed via Luminate Online Web Services. The default partition includes data for all constituents except for administrator accounts. If you prefer to use a custom partition, you must set up a custom partition by clicking Data Management on the main menu, selecting Import/Export, and choosing the Partition Management tab.
Note: IP restriction for Luminate Online Web Services access includes the local host. If you wish to permit web services console access to CWS running on the same host, you may need to include the local host address (i.e. 127.0.0.1/32) in the IP white list.
