This activity shows you how to create an single-page application, configure its connection settings, create a resource access grant, and initiate an authorization request.

The following operations are supported by the PingOne APIs:

• Create an application
• Create a resource access grant
• Initiate an implicit authorization and authentication flow

Workflow order of operations

To configure a single-page application and initiate an authentication flow, the following tasks must be completed successfully:

1. Make a POST request to /environments/{{envID}}/applications to add a new application to the specified environment.

2. Make a GET request to /environments/{{envID}}/resources to return a list of all resource entities associated with the specified environment to get the ID for the PingOne platform resource.

3. Make a GET request to /environments/{{envID}}/resources/{{resourceID}}/scopes to list all scopes associated with a specified resource (the PingOne platform resource).

4. Make a POST request to /environments/{{envID}}/applications/{{appID}}/grants to create a new resource access grant for the application.

5. Make a POST request to /environments/{{envID}}/populations to create a new population resource.

6. Make a POST request to /environments/{{envID}}/users to create a user who will be assigned to the new population resource.

7. Make a POST request to /environments/{{envID}}/users/{{userID}}/password to set the new user’s password.

8. Make a POST request to /{{envID}}/as/authorize to obtain an authorization grant. This request starts the authorization flow.

9. To initiate the authentication flow, make a GET request to GET /{{envID}}/flows/{{flowID}}.

10. To complete the authentication flow, make a POST request to GET /{{envID}}/flows/{{flowID}} and provide the user’s login credentials.

11. Make a GET request to /{{envID}}/as/resume?flowId={{flowID}} to call the resume endpoint and return the token.
