API Key
The API Key is a confidential value shared exclusively between Thinfinity® Workspace and the corporate application connecting to it. By providing the API Key, the corporate application identifies itself as a trusted entity. In certain scenarios, Thinfinity Workspace may recognize the user authenticating as logged into the corporate network, eliminating the need for a password.
This authentication method is particularly beneficial for applications that do not store user passwords but instead authenticate users against Windows or a network Active Directory Server.
Configuring the API Key
The API Key is a configurable value set in the Thinfinity Workspace INI configuration file. The location of this file varies depending on the Windows version running Thinfinity Workspace:
To configure the API Key, append the following format to the INI file:
Important
Use a Unique API Key: Ensure that your API Key is unique and adheres to the format shown in the 'Key' parameter above. It must match the value sent by the external application. Avoid using the example value provided above, as it is publicly available on the internet.
Filter Access: You can restrict access to specific IP addresses by adding them in the 'Ips' parameter. This limits connection attempts from any IP addresses not included in this list.
Authentication Requirement: If the API Key is absent from the INI configuration file, the server will not authenticate external applications or establish connections using the One-Time URL.
