Manage access keys

If you're using basic authentication (also known as S2S) Pismo will provide you 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 are a Control Center administrator (that is, if your access profile includes the Admin role), you can list all access keys related to your organization and generate new ones.

After the generating the access keys, make sure to save them in a secure place. Otherwise, you'll have to generate a new pair.

For more information about security on the Pismo platform, refer to Security.

To manage access keys:

1. From the main menu, choose Organization > Access keys.

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

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.
