Responses to POST /_security/api_key includes id, name, metadata, api_key (shared secret), and encoded (base64 of id:api_key). Requests to GET /_security/_authenticate returns data about the user, but not the API KEY. When authenticating using an API KEY, return API KEY info map in the response. The initial feature request asked for 'name'. However, the request's Authentication header contains 'encoded', so the decoded 'id' will be returned for convenience too. When authenticating using any other method, API KEY info map is omitted. Closes elastic#70306

_authenticateAPI is called using an API key, the response includes information about the user but no details about the API key itself.The API key name could be useful to get, as it can be used to identify the key without using a separate call.
Proposed solution
Return the API key
namefield as part of the_authenticateresponse payload.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
