Passport setup

Setting up Passport for your team starts with your infrastructure team deploying the Passport Proxy. From there, as a Passport Admin, you register the proxy, create namespaces, add resources, and manage API access requests.

Deploy the Passport Proxy

Deploy the Passport Proxy in your Kubernetes environment. By the end, you’ll have a running proxy that intercepts and logs API traffic and is ready to register with Passport Cloud.

Register the Passport Proxy

After the proxy is deployed, register it in Passport to connect it to your team so Passport Members can use it to send authenticated API requests.

Create a namespace

Namespaces group related APIs in Passport. Create one for each logical grouping of APIs your team manages, such as by product, environment, or team.

Manage resources and secret references

Add resources to a namespace and map their secrets to secret references, so Passport Members can request access and call them without seeing the underlying credentials.

Manage API access

Manage API access requests from Passport Members by approving or denying access to specific APIs.
