Access keys

If you're using basic authentication (also known as 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)

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

For more information about Control Center security, refer to Security guide for Control Center.

To manage 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.
