Web Service Access Key

To establish the connection between Business Central and ELO, ELO needs the web service access key of the Business Central user. In this section you will read how this is generated and where it is stored.

Hinweis

Please note that the BC Connector must be set up in the ELO system. Follow the corresponding documentation for this.

Creation of the Web Service Access Key

Then a setting must be made on the user ADMIN.

To do this, open the user page and the user ADMIN.

To allow the ELO system access to Business Central, a so-called Web Service Access Key must be generated. The setting for this can be found in the Web Service Access tab.
Open the AssistEdit via the menu button next to the Web Service Access Key field.
Confirm the query that opens with Yes.

Now a window opens with two fields:

Key never expires and Key expiration date.

Activate Key never expires and confirm the entry with Ok. Now a new key has been created, which you can see in the Web Service Access Key field.

Highlight the key with three quick clicks and copy it with CTRL-C. Make sure that you really copy the whole key.

Inserting the Web Service Access Key into ELO

The key copied in the previous section must now be pasted into ELO.

The field used for this can be found in the Admin Console in the BC Connector area. Here there is a category Base Configuration.

In this category you will find various basic settings - including the field for the Webapi-key or -User PW. Paste the key you just copied here.

The ELO Connector is now connected to ELO and can be used. The setup is finished.
