Can't figure out api key authentication with Elsa (docs says one thing, implementation other?)

[ziggurat]

I can't figure out how to authenticate api calls to elsa with api keys. Documentation here:

https://docs.elsaworkflows.io/guides/authentication#api-key-authentication

says "Elsa doesn't provide built-in API key authentication, but you can implement it using ASP.NET Core authentication handlers."

However there seems to be an api that register an application (POST /elsa/api/identity/applications) that returns an apiKey.

Either way, I can't manage to authenticate by passing

GET {{Api_HostAddress}}/elsa/api/workflow-definitions
Accept: application/json
Authorization: ApiKey {api-key-here}

I don't know what api key to use (tried several, didn't worked).

I have this configuration:

elsa.UseIdentity(identity =>
    {
        identity.TokenOptions = options => options.SigningKey = "asdasdasda";
        identity.UseAdminUserProvider();
    });

elsa.UseDefaultAuthentication(auth => auth.UseAdminApiKey());

app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();

Any help is appretiated.

You’re right, that documentation needs to be corrected.

In the meantime, try asking deepwiki. For instance, since you are using the admin API key, which I’m pretty sure is all zeros, you could ask it like this (read though until the clear text value is presented):
