How to Authenticate to the Neurons API
2 min
Using an Ivanti Neurons API requires authentication configuration to your Ivanti Neurons tenant. When you first use the API, you need to create an App Registration in the Ivanti Neurons console. The App Registration process is same for the following components:
- External Attack Surface
- Neurons Bots
- Patch Management
- People and Device Inventory
- App Distribution
New registration
- In Ivanti Neurons, navigate to Admin > App Registrations.
- Select New registration to open the New app registration panel.
- From the drop-down, select Custom App.
- Click Continue.
- In the Custom App panel, optionally enter a Description for the registration.
- Click Register to generate the authentication settings.
- In the Complete this registration panel, the authentication settings, required to complete the registration, are provided:
- Neurons Auth URL
- Client ID
- Client secret
- Copy or record all of the registration settings. You need to enter these settings in the Get Neurons Token API to validate the authentication.
Warning: For security reasons, the Client Secret will not be visible again once you close this panel, so make sure you copy it before clicking Finish and close.
- Once you have made a copy of the settings click Finish and close.
After completing the App Registration process, you will get the tenant hostname and tenant ID from the Auth URL.
