Configure Authentication for AD Connectors and VAs
Cisco Secure Access communicates with the deployed Cisco Active Directory (AD) Connectors in your environments. Secure Access makes software syncs and health checks to the AD Connectors and requires that API requests from the AD Connectors use authentication. For information about deploying the Cisco AD Connector, see Connect Active Directory to Secure Access.
To manage the authentication of the communications from the AD Connectors to Secure Access, we recommend that you configure API key credentials for your AD Connector deployments. Your API key credentials apply to all AD Connectors and Secure Access Virtual Appliances that are deployed in your environment.
For more information about authentication and deploying Virtual Appliances, see Configure Authentication for Virtual Appliances.

The API key authentication is available for Secure Access Virtual Appliances version 3.7.0 and newer and the Cisco AD Connector version 1.14.4 or newer. The API keys apply to the Virtual Appliances and the Cisco AD Connectors in the organization.
