We are trying to setup the REST API property (p21 of the EP5 MRG), but this topic isn't even mentioned in the same-ish EP3 MRG: "Integrating With Hyland IAM Services - OnBase Foundation EP3 Module Reference Guide.pdf"
Just to double check, does this mean the REST API setup won't work until EP5 or is the EP5 MRG relevant even if you are using EP3?
Note: I saw the following post from 2021, so I'm hopeful this may still be doable...

Hi
The REST API indeed works with OnBase Foundation EP3. Information about setting up authentication is in the REST API SDK ...
https://sdk.onbase.com/rest/OnBase/Foundation22.1/document/programmers-guide/authentication.html
You will need to setup a Client in the Hyland IDP Admin Console based on the need of the client application. The two current OAuth2 Grant Types (a.k.a. flows) which are supported are Authorization Code and Password. Authorization Code is used when your client application has user interaction for authentication whereas Password is used when your application is making direct REST API calls to the API Server. Configuration of the Client is different.
The article you referenced discusses Authorization Code. Here are other resources which might be helpful ...

Thanks Alan. When we upgrade again, we'll need to be budgeting appropriately.
