Retrieving UserSig
UserSig is a security signature generated based on SDKAppID, SDKSecretKey and user ID to verify user identity, similar to a login credential.
When using basic cloud services, SDKAppID, UserID, and UserSig are required during SDK initialization or log-in.
In a formal production environment, to underwrite business security, you need to deploy a UserSig generator on the server to generate UserSig for authentication. For details, see UserSig Authentication.
But in this step, for the purpose of test and product experience, see the following procedure to get UserSig for testing from console.
Note:
UserSig retrieved from console has a default valid period of 180 days.
The process to get UserSig from console is as follows:
2. In the UserSig generation module on the left, click the dropdown list to select your created application (SDKAppID). Upon completion, the corresponding SecretKey (Key) will be automatically generated.
3. Enter username (UserID).
4. Click Generate to generate the corresponding signature UserSig now.
