Using vStor API Keys with Catalogic DPX

vStor allows generating API keys that can be used to authenticate with DPX instead of a username and password. This provides an alternative way to connect vStor nodes to DPX.

Generating an API Key

To generate an API key:

1. Click on your account name in the top navigation bar and select Manage API Keys.

2. In the popup dialog, click Generate New API Key.

3. Specify a name for the API key.

4. Click Generate API Key.

This will generate a unique API key and token that can be used to authenticate as your user account.

Attention! The API key and token are only shown once after generating them. Make sure to copy and save them in a secure place.

Connecting to DPX with API Key

To use the API key for connecting a vStor node to DPX:

1. Add a new vStor node in DPX.

2. Provide the details for your new node.

3. Enter the API key as the username.

4. Enter the API token as the password.

4. Click Test to verify the entered details.

5. Click Save to add the node

The node will now connect to DPX using the API key instead of your vStor username and password.

You can generate multiple API keys if needed. Each key can be independently revoked in the Manage API Keys section.
