Akamai Identity and Access Management

Connection Requirements

To obtain your API credentials, navigate to Identity and Access Management in Akamai Control Center and click Create API client. Click Quick and then Download under Credentials. This downloads an .edgerc file containing all four credential values below.

The file looks like this:

[default]
client_secret = C113nt53KR3TN6N90yVuAgICxIRwsObLi0E67/N8eRN=
host = akab-h05tnam3wl42son7nktnlnnx-kbob3i3v.luna.akamaiapis.net
access_token = akab-acc35t0k3nodujqunph3w7hzp7-gtm6ij
client_token = akab-c113ntt0k3n4qtari252bfxxbsl-yvsdj

1 - Host

The host value from your .edgerc file.

2 - Client Token

The client_token value from your .edgerc file.

3 - Access Token

The access_token value from your .edgerc file.

4 - Client Secret

The client_secret value from your .edgerc file.

5 - Is Secure?

Choose this if your connection is going to be over HTTPS (optional, default: True).

6 - Fetch Multi Account

Enable this option to collect users across all Akamai accounts accessible to your API client. When enabled, the connector fetches account switch keys and queries each account separately (default: False).

7 - Proxy

Proxy URL (optional).

8 - Timeout

The amount of time (in seconds) to wait for API responses. (default: 30)

Permissions Required

When creating the API client, choose the API service named Identity Management: User Administration and set the access level to ADMIN. First-time users need to create an API client with access to this API through the Identity Management application in Akamai Control Center. Alternatively, administrators can create an API client on behalf of the user. Then, the user can generate credentials through the Identity Management application.

Attention

Please perform a connection test to ensure there is a valid connection to the Akamai Identity and Access Management host. When the discovery operation is finalized you will be able to see the details on the Assets page.
