There’s a documented process for setting a custom key for api products in Apigee Edge :
Can the same be used to set an 'externally generated key" ?
Use case:
An implementation has an authentication service that provides consumer keys. These consumer keys need to be used and need to be routed through Apigee to the Authentication service.
Why do you need a external consumer key? You typically use an external access token. Can you please elaborate the usecase.
I have requested the usecase, this is a request from a customer. I presume that could be some specific key (generated in an external system) that could be a part of their legacy systems that they want to use for their developer apps too.
I am awaiting details.
@Venkataraghavan - you asked:
Can the same be used to set an 'externally generated key" ?
Yes, absolutely, You can import external keys into Apigee Edge, regardless of how or where they were generated.
