Add Credential Provider

Overview

To add a Credential Provider, follow the steps described below.

Add a Credential Provider

1. In the Access Policy view, click Skip for now on the Trust Provider step. You will see the Credential Provider page displayed.

2. Click + Add Credential Provider.

   • Give the Credential Provider a name and optional description.
   • Choose the appropriate credential type based on how your Server Workload authenticates requests.

3. Aembit currently supports the following types of credentials:

   • API Key: This is a static API key stored in Aembit Cloud. It applies to HTTP applications using API-key authentication.
   • OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials: These are dynamic credentials, JSON Web Tokens (JWT), received from 3rd party OAuth 2.0 Servers. This applies to HTTP server workloads that accept JWT for authentication.
   • Username & Password: This is a static username & password stored in Aembit Cloud. It applies to various Server Workloads (databases, HTTP applications using username/password, etc.)

4. Aembit also supports advanced authentication options for the acquisition of other dynamic credentials, including:

   • Google Workload Identity Federation
   • JSON Web Token

Configuring these Credential Providers can be more complex. Please contact Aembit Support for more information.

5. Click Save.
