Multi-step process for authenticating access by a user to a database

A system for authenticating access by a user to a database using a multi-step process, comprising:

• a memory storing computer-readable instructions;
• and
• a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to perform operations to:
• generate, by a user, a User Request;
• receive the User Request for accessing a Database at a Gateway Application Programming Interface (API), the User Request including a User Authorization Token, a Request Identification (ID), and an Event Date;
• authenticate the user based on the User Authorization Token;
• in response to the user not being authenticated based on the User Authorization Token, deny the user access to the Database;
• in response to the user being authenticated based on the User Authorization Token, provide an Authenticated Request, including the Request ID and Event Date, to an API Handler based on the User Request;
• based on the Authenticated Request, obtain by the API Handler from an Access Credential Server, a Service Key for accessing the Database;
• and
• provide, by the API Handler, access by the user to the Database using the Service Key.

A non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

• generating, by a user, a User Request;
• receiving the User Request for accessing a Database at a Gateway Application Programming Interface (API), the User Request including a User Authorization Token, a Request Identification (ID), and an Event Date;
• authenticating the user based on the User Authorization Token;
• in response to the user not being authenticated based on the User Authorization Token, denying the user access to the Database;
• in response to the user being authenticated based on the User Authorization Token, providing an Authenticated Request, including the Request ID and Event Date, to an API Handler based on the User Request;
• based on the Authenticated Request, obtaining, by the API Handler from an Access Credential Server, a Service Key for accessing the Database;
• and
• providing, by the API Handler, access by the user to the Database using the Service Key.
