Review prerequisites

After you set up this integration with Cherwell, you will need these artifacts to add the integration in Citrix Workspace Microapps:

• Base URL: https:/{Cherwell_Instance_URL}/CherwellAPI/api/. {Cherwell_Instance_URL} is obtained from Cherwell when purchased.
• Token URL: https:/{Cherwell_Instance_URL}/CherwellAPI/token. {Cherwell_Instance_URL} is obtained from Cherwell when purchased.
• Username: This and Password are the credentials of the service account with access to Cherwell.
• Password: This and Username are the credentials of the service account with access to Cherwell.
• Client ID: The client ID is the string representing client registration information unique to the authorization server.
• Client secret: The client secret is a unique string issued when setting up the target application integration.

It is recommended that you always use OAuth 2.0 as your service authentication method where available. OAuth 2.0 ensures that your integration meets the maximum security compliance with your configured microapp.

The integration requires regular access to your Cherwell instance, so we recommend creating a dedicated user account. This account must have the following permissions:

• Administrator security group

Create Client Id and Client Secret

Before performing this procedure, navigate to https://{ Cherwell_Instance_URL}/CherwellAutoDeploy/ and download Cherwell Service Management and install it.

7. Copy and save the Client Key. This is the value for Client Id and Client Secret for Service Authentication while configuring the integration.

Create Username and Password

Again before performing this procedure, navigate to https://{ Cherwell_Instance_URL}/CherwellAutoDeploy/ and download Cherwell Service Management and install it.

1. Log in with your User ID and Password.
2. On the Cherwell Service Management APP screen, select Security.
