Configuring Security Credentials {#adobe-commerce-m-sec-cred-intro}
===================================================================

The module uses connection methods to access services that require their own security credentials for authentication.  
You must create and configure the SOAP toolkit key and REST API key for the `Adobe Commerce` to function properly.  
If you do not have a `Business Center` account, go to the website to create an account. To activate your merchant account, follow the instructions that are emailed to you. Then log in to the `Business Center` to complete the registration process. Be sure to store your merchant key ID for later use.

Creating a SOAP P12 Certificate
-------------------------------

The `Adobe Commerce` integration uses the SOAP Toolkit API to access several services.  
Generate a SOAP P12 certificate from your `Business Center` account. For information on how to create a SOAP P12 certificate, see [Creating a SOAP p12 Certificate](https://developer.cybersource.com/docs/cybs/en-us/so-p12/migration/all/so/so-p12/so-p12-create-p12.md "").

Creating a REST API Key
-----------------------

The `Adobe Commerce` integration requires REST API key creation to use some services like Flex Microform and the Fraud Management report.  
From your `Business Center` account, you also need your merchant key ID and shared secret key to enable the integration with `Adobe Commerce`. For information on how to generate a shared secret key, see . Be sure to store your key ID and shared secret key for later use.
