To authenticate API requests, you can use secret keys instead of credentials.
This topic describes how to create and manage secret keys using the secret_key CLI utility.
You can also create and manage secret keys via Plesk XML API.
Note: For security reasons, Plesk does not store secret keys. It stores only their hashes.
Usage
secret_key <command> [
<option_1> [<param>]
[<option_2> [<param>]]
]
Example
The following command creates a secret key assigned to the IP address 192.0.2.1:
plesk bin secret_key -c -ip-address 192.0.2.1
Note: Once you have created a secret key, copy it and keep it safe.
For security reasons, secret keys are shown only when they are created.
The secret_key CLI utility will not show them after that.
