Access keys for basic authentication

If you're using basic authentication (also known as server-to-server or S2S), Pismo provides you with an encryption key pair—a server key and a secret key. These are the credentials your client applications will use to connect to the Pismo platform.

• Server key—identifies and authenticates your service
• Secret key—used to prove identity or encrypt/decrypt data (must remain confidential)

Only Control Center administrators can view or generate access keys.

To generate access keys:

1. From the main menu, choose Users & permissions > Access keys.

2. On the Access keys management screen, select Create access key to generate a new key pair.

3. Select Copy credentials to copy the keys to your computer's clipboard.

🚧

The credentials are displayed only once. Store them in a safe place for later reference. If you lose them, you must generate a new pair.

If you're a Control Center administrator, you can list all access keys related to your organization and generate new keys from the Access keys screen.
