User API Keys

Each NetBox user attaches their own API key to an RIR Config. Keys are encrypted at rest using the configured encryption_key (or NetBox's SECRET_KEY when empty).

Adding a key

  1. Navigate to RIR Manager -> User Keys and click Add.
  2. Select the RIR Config.
  3. Paste your RIR API key (e.g. ARIN Online API key).
  4. Save.

The key is encrypted before persistence and is never displayed in cleartext after creation.

Key rotation

Changing the encryption_key setting (or NetBox's SECRET_KEY when the plugin's setting is empty) makes all previously encrypted API keys unrecoverable.
