Integration using API access keys
An all new feature for those who work with integrating Next® with various business systems.
When you implement Next® in an enterprise, you mostly use the existing user management infrastructure. Inside a company network, this is typically Active Directory. For this you need the Next® LDAP/AD connector. Secure single sign on (SSO) is then available using Kerberos, when you integrate to Next® features using URL linking. Outside the domain you will need SAML (or OAUTH2). SAML is supported by Next® Enterprise Single Sign On. And soon OAuth2 will be.
For system to system integration, Next® comes with a complete REST API. When you use this API, you provide user id and password as part of the request , and encrypted using https.
Now Next® API Access Keys, allows you to control the integration from within Next®, and thereby improve the security of your entire setup.
Create individual API Access Keys for each integration point. Give the 'secret' key to the external programs. And control from within Next® exactly what can be done using this access point.
Each integration point is associated with a unique 'secret' key.
Each integration point can be restricted to improve security.
For the techie ones
This is a highly technical matter. We always suggest that you consult our Security Center of Competences before setting up integration.
