This guide tells you how to authenticate the **FireEye Detection On Demand** connector in Swimlane using API Key Authentication.

# Prerequisites

## FireEye Access Requirements

You must have permissions to:

- Access the FireEye Detection On Demand portal

- Submit and retrieve malware analysis reports

# Required Credentials

During setup, you will collect:

| **Credential**   | **Description**                                          |

| FireEye Auth Key | API authentication key used to authenticate API requests |

# FireEye Detection On Demand Setup

Take the following steps to obtain the API Authentication Key:

1. Log in to your **FireEye Detection On Demand** portal.

3. Locate the option to generate or manage API keys.
4. Click **Generate API Key** or **Create New Key**.
5. Provide a name or description for the API key if prompted.
6. Copy and securely save the generated API key.

This saved value is your **FireEye Auth Key**.

# Collect the Required URL

Use the FireEye Detection On Demand API base URL provided by your FireEye deployment.

Example:

| **Environment**                 | **Example URL**                                    |

| Username/Password       | No            |

## Troubleshooting

If authentication fails,

Verify:

- The API key is valid
- The FireEye URL is correct
- The API key has not expired
- There are no extra spaces in the API key field
