I have change the tyk.conf secret to x-tyk-authorization when i create Community Edition return
{“status”:“error”,“error”:“Forbidden”} where i have lost，or something is wrong?

2

Did you restart the gateway?

3

i have restart the gateway also forbidden

4

So you changed the secret in the Tyk.conf and then you changed the auth header to match the one in the conf?

Can you share your tyk.conf and the curl command you are making?

this is my Tyk.conf

}
and head x-tyk-authorization:352d20ee67be67f6340b4c0605b044b7

Hi,

you cannot change the property name, so if you change x-tyk-authorization back to secret and you copy and paste the exact JSON we provide here it should work.

Thanks,
Kos @ Tyk Support Team

i have keep the property name secret to request also forbidden.

Can you confirm that your config and curl command look like the following ?
tyk.conf:

and your curl command is

curl -v -H “x-tyk-authorization: 352d20ee67be67f6340b4c0605b044b7”
-s
-H “Content-Type: application/json”

i follow your advice the return is { “error”: “Due to enabled use_db_app_configs, please use Advanced Management API”, “status”: “error” }

10

This means you are not using he community edition, BT Pro instead - you must make requests against the dashboard API and follow the Pro tutorials.

11

you mean i should try Pro Edition ？

12

No, I mean you seem to have inadvertently configured the Pro free version :slight_smile:
