Summary

Simplify generating API keys for gateways

Current Situation

We have the API Key screen today to create a gateway API key.
Screenshot 2023-11-09 at 14 11 35

Why do we need this? Who uses it, and when?

API Keys for gateways can only be one of two types

  1. Gateway connection (including LBS LNS): This API key requires only one right Right_RIGHT_GATEWAY_LINK, "link as Gateway to a Gateway Server for traffic exchange, i.e. write uplink and read downlink"
  2. CUPS: This requires three rights:
  • View Gateway Information
  • Retrieve Secrets Associated with the gateway
  • Edit basic gateway settings

Instead of users going to this page and selecting the rights, we should make this easier.

Proposed Implementation

In the overview page of a particular gateway, have a button to generate an API Key.

  • Here we can provide a dropdown with two types (connection/LNS and CUPS) and an optional expiry.
  • Once the user selects it we either have the same "please copy the key" or we can generate a file and auto download via the browser.

Contributing

  • I can help by doing more research.
  • I can help by implementing the feature after the proposal above is approved.
  • I can help by testing the feature before it's released.
