US 2021/0281555 A1 · API KEY ACCESS AUTHORIZATION

Abstract

In an approach for an API key access authorization, a processor receives a transaction identity, a part of a token, and an API key identity attribute from a server. The transaction identity is generated in the server associated with generating the token. A processor receives a request from a client with the transaction identity for the part of the token. A processor looks up a transaction table via the transaction identity as an index. The transaction identity is associated with the part of the token and the API key identity attribute. A processor retrieves a client identity attribute through a second server via an IP address of the client. The second server registers the client. A processor matches a policy via the API key identity attribute and the client identity attribute. A processor sends the part of the token to the client.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by one or more processors, a transaction identity, a second part of a token, and an API key identity attribute from a first server, the transaction identity being generated in the first server associated with generating the token including a first part and the second part;
receiving, by one or more processors, a request from a client with the transaction identity for the second part of the token;
looking up, by one or more processors, a transaction table via the transaction identity as an index, the transaction identity being associated with the second part of the token and the API key identity attribute;
retrieving, by one or more processors, a client identity attribute through a second server via an IP address of the client, the second server registering the client;
matching, by one or more processors, a policy via the API key identity attribute and the client identity attribute;
and
sending, by one or more processors, the second part of the token to the client.

4 more elements

A computer system comprising:

one or more computer processors, one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to receive a transaction identity, a second part of a token, and an API key identity attribute from a first server, the transaction identity being generated in the first server associated with generating the token including a first part and the second part;
program instructions to receive a request from a client with the transaction identity for the second part of the token;
program instructions to look up a transaction table via the transaction identity as an index, the transaction identity being associated with the second part of the token and the API key identity attribute;
program instructions to retrieve a client identity attribute through a second server via an IP address of the client, the second server registering the client;
program instructions to match a policy via the API key identity attribute and the client identity attribute;
and
program instructions to send the second part of the token to the client.
