DMWeb API Authentication method change

Ewon
Change on Authentication Method for the Datamailbox Web API.

Major improvements:

To improve our security posture regarding the  Datamailbox Web API.

  • The Username and Password authentication has been deprecated since July 3.
  • Only token authentication is now allowed.
 The Token authentication has already been promoted and documented into our Reference Guide since end 2020. 


Please note that the token can easily be used without any changes in your application if it is already performing API calls using HTTPS POST. In this case, you just need to use: 

  • “t2m-api-token” in the username field  
  • the token in the password field.  

(See chapter 4.3.2 of the Reference Guide) 

Remark: The M2web API is not impacted by this change. To use the M2web API, the username and password authentication is still the only valid authentication method.
