Create client credentials
For mass-deployment
For a mass deployment of clients, where each client shall use its own
client_id and password, proceed as follows:- 1.Generate an API key with scope
clients-auth. - 2.Go to client access and generate a pairing script for any of the clients.
- 3.Download the bash or PowerShell script to your desktop, but don't execute it.
- 4.Open the scripts with an editor and go to the line where variables
CLIENT_ID/$client_idandPASSWORD/$passwordare defined. - 5.Delete the lines and replace with the below snippets. Each time you execute the script, new client credentials are created via an API call.
- 6.Now copy this script to new clients and execute.
On Linux
On Windows
