Area Encryption Key

The area encryption key is a unique cryptographic key associated with your Cloud API Management area. It is used to encrypt sensitive configuration information, such as backend credentials and authentication tokens, that the Traffic Manager uses when processing API calls.

Before you can view the key, a Boomi Account Representative must generate it for your area and enable the feature flag. Once the key is generated and the feature flag is enabled, you can view it only once in the Area information pop-up window on the Cloud API Management (Control Center). After you view and close it, the key is permanently hidden in the Area information and cannot be retrieved again via the UI.

Every key view event is recorded on the Audit History: Area Encryption Keys page, including the user handle, timestamp, and a masked key preview.

Viewing the area encryption key

The Area Encryption Key section appears in the Area information pop-up window only when a key has been generated for your area, the feature flag is enabled, and it has not yet been viewed.

Prerequisites

To view the area encryption key, you must meet the following requirements:

  • You must be an Area Administrator.
  • A Boomi Account Representative must have generated the area encryption key for your area and enabled the feature flag.

Procedure

  1. Sign in to the Cloud API Management dashboard.

  2. Click the Area or the (?) icon in the top navigation, then select Area information. This opens the Area information pop-up window. It displays your Area name, Area UUID, Area ID, and Area Encryption Key.

    How to find your Traffic Manager domain

    The Area UUID and Traffic Manager domain are needed when publishing an endpoint to Cloud API Management using Boomi Cloud Integration. You can derive Traffic Manager domain from the Area name in the Area information pop-up window. For example, if the Area name is eval996802, the Traffic Manager domain is eval996802.api.mashery.com.

  3. In the Area Encryption Key section, click the Show icon. The decrypted key appears. Copy the key immediately and save it securely before closing this Area information pop-up window.

    One-time visibility key

    The key is displayed only once and cannot be retrieved again via the Control Center UI. If you need the key again, contact your Boomi Account Representative.

  4. Click the Close icon (x).

    After closing the pop-up, the Area Encryption Key section is permanently hidden. The key cannot be retrieved again via the UI.
