Service keys

Operator page

A service key lets a whole website act on behalf of every member. Treat it like a password.

This is how WordPress proves to FMS that it is really our website.

One service app per system that talks to FMS.

Click anywhere, or press Esc, to close.

Create a key for WordPress

1. Give the app a name that says where it runs (1). Optionally list the IP addresses allowed to use it, one per line (2). Leave the list empty to allow any address.

   

   

   Click anywhere, or press Esc, to close.

2. Press create, then press generate key on the new app.
3. Copy the key. It starts with fms_sk_ and is shown once and never again.

Paste it into WordPress at Connect to FMS.

The key is shown once

If you lose it, generate a new one and update WordPress. There is no way to read an existing key back.

Revoking a key

Revoke stops it working immediately. Anything using it breaks at once, so have the replacement ready before you revoke.

The IP allow-list

If you fill it in and get the address wrong, WordPress will report that FMS knows the key but refused the request. Either add the right address or clear the list.
