Creating a Service Key

A service key is created for a specific service type, such as CBPWS or V6LOGIN. For the service key, the type of key (what you select when you create it) is stored in the WSKey Application ID attribute. For the web service, the key type it supports is stored in its WSKey Application ID attribute. The values of these attributes must match for the user who is assigned a key to have access to that web service. You can create service keys as needed.

Before you begin: View the summary list of service keys. See Service Keys Page.

  1. From the page Actions menu or toolbar, click Create New, then click the type of service key, such as CBPWS.
