Connecting to Venafi Control Plane using an API key

You can configure remote access to the Venafi Control Plane REST API so that Venafi Connection can use them.

  1. Sign into the Venafi Control Plane UI.
  2. Click the you account icon on the top right, and then Preferences from the drop-down list.
  3. Copy your API key from the API keys tab.

Important

Connecting using this method is not as secure as using work identity federation. Work identity federation allows you to connect without worrying about managing and securing long-lived credentials such as API keys.
