Configuring API Keys

To configure Veeam Service Provider Console integration with third party solutions, for example ConnectWise Automate, you must generate API keys. Veeam Service Provider Console uses API keys to authenticate requests from third party solutions to Veeam Service Provider Console server.

Required Privileges

To perform the task, a user must have the following role assigned: Service Provider Global Administrator.

To generate a public and private API keys:

1. Log in to Veeam Service Provider Console.

6. Click Generate a key for me.

The Public API key will display.
