Authentication Options​

  • Enable:

    • No Sign-In Required, or
    • Create Account option

  • Alternatively, configure authentication by providing credentials.

    SSL Pinning Configuration​

⚠️ Important:
Disable SSL pinning when enabling APILock to allow API traffic inspection.

  • MASST Defender enforces SSL pinning at runtime

  • Disabling it here will not compromise overall API security

    Additional Settings​

  • Enter the Domain Name.

  • Enable Update Credentials on Release Enable if required.

    Step 6: Download & Install CLI Tool​
