Adding API identities

There are two methods to add API identities.

Method 1 – Generate API identities based on LN user data

To generate API identities:

  1. Start the API Identities (ttmtm6140m000) session.
  2. Select Actions > Create Identities from Users .

    The User Data (ttaad2500m000) session starts.

  3. Select the users for which to generate API identities.
  4. Click Save Changes and Exit .

    The generated API identities are displayed in the API Identities (ttmtm6140m000) session.

    The generated identities have this format: lnapi_<LN user>. For example, if you create identities for LN users test1 and test2, identities lnapi_test1 and lnapi_test2 are generated.

  5. Optionally, change the descriptions of the generated API identities.

Method 2 - Manually add API identities

To create an API identity:

  1. Start the API Identities (ttmtm6140m000) session.
  2. Click New and specify this information:
