API Authorization Overview

For APIs that use App authentication, authorize them with specified credentials. When calling an API, an API caller can be authenticated using the key and secret of a credential or using the AppCode for simple authentication.

• Configuring Authentication Credentials

  Create a credential to generate a key/secret pair. When an API is called, APIG authenticates the identity based on the key/secret pair. The key is unique and cannot be reset. The secret can be reset.

• Configuring AppCodes for Simple Authentication

  After the simple authentication is configured, APIG can perform authentication based on the AppCode or key/secret pair when calling the API.
