REST API Access for Docker Container Applications

Use an API key to allow Docker containers access to the ExtremeCloud IQ Controller REST API. A randomly generated key allows access to ExtremeCloud IQ Controller without requiring the user to be actively logged in, and it can allow access privileges that are greater than the privileges of the application user. The API key can be used in place of the password of the original account.
Note

Note

When running more than one ExtremeCloud IQ Controller application that uses an API key file, you need only one generated API key.

After the key is randomly generated, download the key as a .json file and map it as a read-only configuration file to the Docker application.
