How To: Configure Key / Secret

API keys and secrets can be administered by the Admin API or Sandbox Admin App, but some implementers may prefer to work directly with the data. The SQL queries on this page enable a database administrator to create keys and secrets. These queries run against the EdFi_Admin database.

You should replace the values for variables with values you desire.
