Named Credential

CDP4S uses a Named Credential to connect to Sitecore CDP & Personalize.

Find Named Credentials in setup, and click New Named Credential. Use the following settings:

• URL: the Sitecore API endpoint for your region.

• Identity Type: Named Principal

• Authentication Protocol: Password Authentication

• Username: (Sitecore API key)

• Password: (Sitecore API secret)

Check Generate Authorization Header and Allow Merge Fields in HTTP Body. The latter is required to allow CDP4S to include the API key in some requests; this uses token replacement and does not expose the API key.
