Skylar AutomationPowerPack and API-Key
Hi, We have moved away from using the ISadmin account for Skylar Automate. Instead of the we using a SSO integration for the users and for integrations the API-Key possibilities. Looking at Skylar AutomationPowerPack v108 I can't see the option to use an API-Key in the SOAP/XML credential. My questions: Did I overlooked something? If not, how can we implement the API-Key? I think the usage of API-Key is applicable for more ScienceLogic clients. Thanks in advance. AlfredMicrosoft: Active Directory Server v102 PowerPack Release Notification
