Add event forwarders

Add event forwarders as follows:

  1. Add an event forwarder to Admissions. Go to System admin and then Streams and then Event forwarders and then select Add Event forwarder and define the following settings:

    Endpoint details
    • Send endpoint identifier: describes the endpoint where events are forwarded to.

    • Send endpoint: address for the system that events are forwarded to, such as https://edge-events.hessle.ac.uk.

    • Event types: selected event types, such as Admissions.Application.Created and VisaSponsorshipUk.CasRequest.Updated.

    • Endpoint enabled: if enabled, events are forwarded to the endpoint.

    Identity provider details
    • Identity provider token URL: defines the identity service URL, such as https://identity.hessle.ac.uk/ids/connect/token.

    • Client ID: defines the name of the client, such as api_MyClient.

    • Client secret such as RQYrXJkh9jpytYt4s41SaUH3TzpDnX!NEFNbZeph!UXI3Mzu.

      Important.

      For security reasons, you must enter the client secret each time the event forwarder is changed.

    • Audience: defines the intended consumer of the token.

    • Scopes: needed for the event forwarder. For example, EventForwarder.

  2. Check the status of the event forwarder. Go to System admin and then Streams and then Event forwarders as shown in the image Event forwarders.
