Description of Issue
Token-based authentication provides a better, token-based approach to authenticate to Venafi Trust Protection Platform. This limits the wide scope of the old API-key authentication method, but does require some additional initial configuration.
In addition to the security benefits token-based authentication provides, it also mitigates the need to re-authenticate before every call, since the auth token can be longer lived. I’d be happy to answer questions or walk through the setup if it would be beneficial.
The API-Key authentication method has already been removed from the official documentation (although it is still functional). Integrations still using API-Key based authentication will not be compatible with Venafi Trust Protection Platform after this functionality is deprecated.
Setup
I am happy to provide access to documentation, a Venafi testing instance, as well as be available for any questions that might arise during the change.
