Credential APIs

The Credentials interface stores information about credentials for use in requesting certificates and other activities. Trust Protection Platform only stores the credentials you create. Any remote credentials remain only under the management of the parent. For example, a vault or safe manages its own secrets.

What is the difference between Credentials, Permissions, and Identity?

  • Credentials endpoints manage certificate and other activities. For more information, see Credentials APIs.
  • Identity endpoints manage Venafi users. For more information, see Identity APIs.
  • Permissions endpoints grant principals (users and groups) privileges to objects within Trust Protection Platform. For more information, see Permission APIs.
