Create a key in OPSS using the OPSS Credential screen for the domain in Fusion Middleware Control. When you create a key, you can choose either the "password" or "generic" type.

1. From the WebLogic Domain menu, click Security, then Credentials.

   This screen includes a pre-seeded mapping for "FormsREST" along with a pre-seeded credential entry. Do not delete this entry.

   Any credentials for use with Forms REST must be stored as keys under this mapping node as shown in Figure -44.

3. In the Key field, type the Forms application Credential ID.
   The key value is used in your Forms application to indicate which credentials are needed for a particular REST call.
4. Select either Password or Generic for Forms REST entries from the Type dropdown list.
   The "Password" type is preferred as it is more secure.
5. If using the "Password" type, enter the public part of the authorization token in the User Name field and the private part of the authorization token in the Password field.
   If there is no public part, leave the User Name field blank.
6. If using the "Generic" type, enter the public and private parts of the authorization token on separate lines of the Credential field as shown in Figure -46.

   If there is no public part, enter the private part on a single line in the Credential field.
