## Overview {#overview}

### What You'll Learn: {#what-youll-learn}

* Request to MTF access

### What you'll need: {#what-youll-need}

Before testing in the MTF environment:

* You must have a CIS project open.
* You must have received your CIS project number (CIS-xxxx-xxxx) from Mastercard.

### APIs Used in this Tutorial {#apis-used-in-this-tutorial}

* Authentication Facilitator MTF

## Select an existing project {#select-an-existing-project}

1. Log in to your Mastercard developers account and select the project.
2. By selecting **Open Project** you will see project details. ![MTF Project Details](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/authentication-facilitator/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/images/select-existing-project.png "MTF Project Details")

## Request Access {#request-access}

1. Click **Request Production access** on the Project summary page.

## Add Service Details {#add-service-details}

1. Enter a valid endpoint (URL + TCP Port + Context Root), for MDES to use when sending Production Authentication Facilitator messages to the customer. An example might look like: `https://www.mycompany.com:8543/mtfweb`. ![Service Details](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/authentication-facilitator/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/images/Push_API_Endpoint.png "Push API Endpoint")
2. Click **Proceed**.

## Project Credentials {#project-credentials}

Note: Please ignore OAuth information, Authentication Facilitator API service supports MTLS.

1. Provide **Key alias** and **Keystore password** . A key alias is a label for specific key within a keystore. Ensure that you make a note of the key alias and the keystore password as you will need this information when you send the API request to Mastercard. ![MTF Credentials](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/authentication-facilitator/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/images/RequestProdAccess_MTF_ProjectCredentials.png "MTF Credentials")
2. Click **Proceed**.

## Additional Credentials {#additional-credentials}

This section is to configure the data level encryption and decryption keys. Authentication Facilitator API uses [Mastercard encryption](https://developer.mastercard.com/platform/documentation/security-and-authentication/securing-sensitive-data-using-payload-encryption/)

1. Provide **Key alias** and **Keystore password** for Mastercared Encryption Key. ![MTF Additional Credentials](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/authentication-facilitator/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/images/additional_authentication_MTF.png "MTF Additional Credentials")
2. Click **Update Project**.

## Download MTF Keys {#download-mtf-keys}

1. To download the key information, click **Download key file**. The key file has the following information:

* The OAuth Signing key - P12 file Note: Please ignore OAuth information, Authentication Facilitator API service supports MTLS.
* The client encryption key - pem file - Issuer will use public key to encrypt data in the response.
* The Mastercard encryption key - P12 file - Issuer will use this to decrypt the data encrypted by Mastercard in the payload sent by Mastercard. ![Download Keys](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/authentication-facilitator/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/images/download-sandbox-keys.png "Download Keys")

2. Click **Open Project** to see the project details:

* Sandbox client ID
* Production Client ID
* Project APIs and Sandbox and Production status. ![MTF Project Details](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/authentication-facilitator/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/images/MTF_Project_Summary.png "MTF Project Summary")

## Provide Client ID for Onboarding {#provide-client-id-for-onboarding}

You must retrieve your Mastercard API Production Client ID (part of the Consumer Key) and provide it to your CIS IM.

1. From the Mastercard Developers project summary page, navigate to **Production Credentials**.
2. Under **OAuth 1.0a project keys** , next to the **Consumer Key** , click the copy icon to copy the consumer key and provide it to your CIS IM. ![Copy Authentication Facilitator MTF consumer key](https://static.developer.mastercard.com/content/authentication-facilitator/documentation/tutorials-and-guides/images/production_cred.png "Authentication Facilitator MTF consumer key")

Note:   
- If you see Production Status is "Under Review" or "Declined" please contact Mastercard implementation manager and request for approval.   
- If Production Status is "Ready" then contact Mastercard implementation engineer/manager for further onboarding.
