Register and Log In

To subscribe to API products and manage credentials, you need a developer account on the Developer Portal. This guide covers the available registration and login methods.

Register with Email and Password

If the portal has built-in authentication enabled with self-registration:

  1. Navigate to the Developer Portal home page.
  2. Click Sign Up.
  3. Enter your Name, Email, and Password.
  4. Click Create Account.

After registration:

  • If registration auto-approval is enabled, your account is immediately active and you can start using the portal.
  • If auto-approval is disabled, your account enters a Pending state. An administrator must approve your registration before you can access protected content and create subscriptions. You will be notified once your account is approved.

Log In with Email and Password

  1. Navigate to the Developer Portal home page.
  2. Click Sign In.
  3. Enter your Email (or Username) and Password.
  4. Click Sign In.

Log In with SSO

If the portal administrator has configured SSO login options (OIDC, SAML, LDAP, or CAS):

  1. Navigate to the Developer Portal sign-in page.
  2. Click the SSO provider button (for example, "Sign in with Okta").
  3. You will be redirected to the identity provider's login page.
  4. Authenticate with your organizational credentials.
  5. After successful authentication, you are redirected back to the Developer Portal.

On first SSO login, a developer account is automatically created using the profile information from the identity provider.

Log In with an Invitation

If an administrator has invited you:

  1. You will receive a Username and a One-time Password from the administrator.
  2. Navigate to the Developer Portal sign-in page.
  3. Enter the provided username and one-time password.
  4. After logging in, change your password.

Create an Organization

After your first login, you may be prompted to create an organization. Organizations are the primary unit of multi-tenancy in the Developer Portal.

  1. Enter an Organization Name.
  2. Enter a Slug URL (a URL-friendly identifier for the organization).
  3. Click Create.

Your organization maps to a developer identity in the Provider Portal. All applications, subscriptions, and credentials you create belong to this organization.

note

The organization model is specific to the default Developer Portal implementation using Better Auth. If your portal has a custom implementation, the registration flow may differ.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

If the portal supports two-factor authentication:

  1. Navigate to your profile or security settings.
  2. Enable 2FA and scan the QR code with an authenticator app (TOTP).
  3. On subsequent logins, enter the verification code from your authenticator app after your password.
