Rotating shared secrets

To avoid service interruptions, the JSON PDP API allows multiple, distinct shared secrets to be accepted at the same time.

About this task

You can configure a new shared secret that the JSON PDP API accepts alongside an existing shared secret. This allows time to update the client to use the new shared secret.

Steps

  1. Create a new JSON PDP API Shared Secret and assign it to the JSON PDP API HTTP Servlet Extension. For more information, see Creating a shared secret.

  2. Update the client to use the new shared secret.

  3. Remove the previous JSON PDP API Shared Secret. For more information, see Deleting a shared secret.
