API endpoint: platform.adobe.io/data/core/activation/authoring/credentials
This page exemplifies the API request and payload that you can use to delete a credential configuration using the /authoring/credentials
API endpoint.
/credentials
API endpointIn most cases, you do not need to use the /credentials
API endpoint. Instead, you can configure the authentication information for your destination via the customerAuthenticationConfigurations
parameters of the /destinations
endpoint.
Read Customer authentication configuration for detailed information on the supported authentication types.
Use this API endpoint to create a credential configuration only if there is a global authentication system between Adobe and your destination platform, and the Platform customer does not need to provide any authentication credentials to connect to your destination. In this case, you must create a credential configuration using the /credentials
API endpoint.
When using a global authentication system, you must set "authenticationRule":"PLATFORM_AUTHENTICATION"
in the destination delivery configuration, when creating a new destination configuration.
All parameter names and values supported by Destination SDK are case sensitive. To avoid case sensitivity errors, please use the parameters names and values exactly as shown in the documentation.
Before continuing, please review the getting started guide for important information that you need to know in order to successfully make calls to the API, including how to obtain the required destination authoring permission and required headers.
You can delete an existing credential configuration by making a DELETE
request to the /authoring/credentials
endpoint with the {INSTANCE_ID}
of the credential configuration that you want to delete.
To obtain an existing destination configuration and its corresponding {INSTANCE_ID}
, see the article about retrieving a credential configuration.
