Configuration
Authenticating to the Admin API requires an External Application configuration to be created within Banno.
The back office administrator at your financial institution can do this for you in the Users & Groups section of Banno.
From the Banno People dashboard, click the ... button to open the menu and select Users & Groups
If you are developing using a Jack Henry test environment, you will not have access to Banno Users & Groups. In this case, Jack Henry is the acting administrator of the financial institution and you will have to contact us for any Banno Users & Groups operations.
Finally, click the + Create external app button.
