- 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.
