Secure Tool Authentication
Manage API access with robust authentication methods like OAuth 2.0 and API keys.
Enterprise-Grade Security for Every API Call
AidEun's comprehensive authentication framework ensures that every action taken by the AI is secure, authorized, and auditable. Our flexible system supports all major authentication standards while providing administrators with granular control over access and security policies.
Supported Authentication Methods
🔐 OAuth 2.0 & OpenID Connect
Industry-standard protocols for secure, delegated access without exposing user credentials.
- Authorization Code Flow: For web applications requiring user consent
- Client Credentials Flow: For server-to-server API access
- Device Code Flow: For applications on devices without browsers
- PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange): Enhanced security for public clients
🔑 API Key Management
Secure storage and rotation of API keys with enterprise-grade encryption.
- AES-256 Encryption: All API keys encrypted at rest
- Automatic Rotation: Configurable key rotation schedules
- Multiple Key Support: Primary and backup keys for zero-downtime rotation
- Usage Tracking: Monitor which keys are being used and when
service: "salesforce"
auth_method: "api_key"
key_location: "header"
key_name: "Authorization"
key_format: "Bearer {api_key}"
rotation_schedule: "monthly"
backup_key_enabled: true
🎫 Bearer Token Authentication
Support for JWT tokens and custom bearer token schemes.
- JWT Validation: Automatic token expiry and refresh
- Custom Headers: Support for non-standard authentication headers
- Token Caching: Intelligent caching to reduce authentication overhead
- Multi-tenant Support: Different tokens for different organizational units
🔒 Basic & Digest Authentication
Legacy system support with modern security enhancements.
- Credential Vaulting: Secure storage of username/password combinations
- Connection Pooling: Reuse authenticated connections for performance
- Timeout Management: Automatic session timeout and renewal
Admin Configuration Dashboard
🛠️ Visual Authentication Setup
Step-by-Step Configuration Wizard
- 1.Select Authentication Type: Choose from OAuth 2.0, API Key, Bearer Token, or Basic Auth
- 2.Provider Selection: Pick from 100+ pre-configured providers or set up custom
- 3.Credential Input: Secure form for entering sensitive authentication data
- 4.Permission Mapping: Define which API operations require which authentication
- 5.Test Connection: Validate authentication before deployment
Authentication Provider Library
Pre-configured providers for instant setup:
🔧 Advanced Security Configuration
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Require additional verification for sensitive API operations:
Conditional Access Policies
Define when and how authentication is required:
- IP Allowlisting: Restrict API access to specific IP ranges
- Time-based Access: Limit API operations to business hours
- Device Compliance: Require managed devices for sensitive operations
- Risk-based Authentication: Increase security requirements based on risk assessment
Real-World Implementation Examples
📊 Salesforce CRM Integration
provider: "salesforce"
auth_type: "oauth2"
environment: "production" # or "sandbox"
scopes:
- "api"
- "refresh_token"
- "offline_access"
custom_domain: "yourcompany.my.salesforce.com"
- 1.Connected App Setup: Create Salesforce Connected App with appropriate scopes
- 2.AidEun Configuration: Enter Client ID and Client Secret in secure vault
- 3.User Authorization: First-time users complete OAuth flow to grant permissions
- 4.Token Management: AidEun automatically handles token refresh and expiry
- Users never see or handle Salesforce credentials
- Granular permission control through Salesforce scopes
- Automatic token refresh prevents service interruptions
- Full audit trail of all Salesforce API calls
🎫 ServiceNow ITSM Integration
- Dedicated Service Account: Separate account for AidEun with minimal required permissions
- Role-based Access: ServiceNow roles limit what data can be accessed
- Session Management: Automatic session renewal and timeout handling
- Audit Integration: All actions logged in ServiceNow audit trail
