About this task

OSLC integration with Maximo Real Estate and Facilities is accomplished between a consumer application and Maximo Real Estate and Facilities, the provider application. As the OSLC provider application, Maximo Real Estate and Facilities makes its resource data available to the consumer application through containers, which are known as service providers. With the resource data made available, the consumer application can create links between its data and the resource data of Maximo Real Estate and Facilities. You can configure and enable any part of Maximo Real Estate and Facilities to act as an OSLC provider application.

Note: The colon character is reserved as the delimiter between the username and password during authentication. When you provision users for OSLC access, avoid the colon character in usernames or passwords.
