Pre-Configuration Considerations

After you have installed the API module, you must configure its settings. They are broken down into two groups:

Database:

• Alloy Navigator database access options — during the configuration, you will need to specify how the API module will connect to the database and import the Database Access Key.

  INFO: For details, see Importing the Database Access Key and Distributing the Database Access Key.

Web:

• Deployment (installation) options — see Choosing Installation Type (API).
• User authentication — see Choosing Authentication Method.
• Workflow integration — see Customizing the API Link Macro.

Review this section to understand every aspect before you configure the API module.
