Keys and tokens

On-Premise software suite uses several types of keys and tokens.

On-Premise License​

On-Premise License is used by DGCLI to download On-Premise installation artifacts, and License service to control access to other services.

On-Premise License is issued when you purchase the On-Premise software suite and is tied to a specific set of On-Premise services.

Keys types

API keys​

API keys

The administrator generates API keys using the admin interface of the API Keys service. End-user applications then use these API keys to access deployed On-Premise services.

Service tokens​

Service tokens are used by On-Premise services to communicate with the API Keys service in order to validate API keys and perform other operations.

Service tokens are generated after the installation of the API Keys service and are unique to each service instance. Administrator of the API Keys service cannot generate new tokens, only use the existing ones to set up the On-Premise services that work with API keys.
