By using API tokens in the REST API request, users can check out credentials of applications such as databases, LDAP, cloud services, and shared keys.
To enable a user to generate an API token:
Add Privileged Account Manager users to the appropriate user group. For more information, see Enabling Users to Generate API Tokens.
Create a resource for the required application, add credentials for check out, and add appropriate rules for application credential checkout.
For more information about credential checkout configurations, see the following:
Database
Cloud services
Applications
Shared Keys
For more information about how to add a credential, see Contextual Help.
Using this feature, a user can check out multiple credentials for the same application either by directly checking out the application credentials from the user console or checking out credentials using API tokens. As Privileged Account Manager allows multiple credentials checkout for an application, you must have an adequate number of credentials in Privileged Account Manager for simultaneous access to the application.
