Searching in {{docApp.searchFilterBySpecificBookTitle}}

 {{docApp.currentResultsSearchText}}  in {{docApp.searchFilterBySpecificBookTitle}}
Found {{docApp.searchResponse.totalResultsAvailable}} matches. Showing the top {{docApp.searchResponse.results ? docApp.searchResponse.results.length : 0}}. Use a more specific search to further narrow down the results.
No documentation pages match this search, so all content types are shown. Most matches are in {{docApp.searchDocTypeRescue.best.name}}.
There is no book with the ID "{{docApp.searchBookRescue.bid}}", so the book filter from this link was ignored and results from all books are shown.

You have an odd number of " characters in your search terms - each one needs closing with a matching " character!

Operation Information

  • Click on the + Create New Key button;
  • On the resulting Create New Key form, choose HTTP Basic Authentication (Username + Password) in the Type pick list;
  • Give the HTTP Basic Authentication (Username + Password) KeySafe key a Title (this is the name / identifier for the HTTP Basic Authentication (Username + Password) account as you will see it when using the cloud automation node in your workflows);
  • Optionally populate the Description field;
  • Populate the following fields accordingly, then click the Create Key button to create your new key:

Revoking Access

If at any point you wish to revoke access to any of the above accounts from your Hornbill instance, just delete the relevant KeySafe key(s) from the KeySafe list.
