Create API credentials
You must create API credentials before you deploy the CloudFormation template.
To create API credentials, do as follows:
- Sign in to Sophos Central.
- Go to My Products > General Settings > API Credentials Management.
- Click Add Credential.
- Enter a Credential name.
- For Role, select Service Principal Firewall.
-
Click Add. Sophos Central generates a Client ID and Client Secret.
Note
You'll need these credentials later when you specify your stack details in AWS.
-
To copy the client secret, click Copy.
Warning
You must copy the client secret immediately, as you won't be able to do this after you exit the page.
