Union database on supply chain security (KSDA) was updated to API 2.0 in September 2023. Be up-to-date by requesting and changing your access data in Scope in time.
Request New Consumer Key and Consumer Secret
Option 1: Apply for new access data
Apply for new login access data for the KSDA2 WIND API both for the “Acceptance” and for the “Live” environment at the e-mail address move-application-support@ec.europa.eu . Your Scope test system will always connect with the “Acceptance” environment, while your live system will connect with the “Live” environment of the EU.
Option2: You already have KSDA login/access data for existing users
"Consumer Key" and "Consumer Secret" can be retrieved from the KSDA compliance web page under the WIND contract module. Use these access data to overwrite the current entries in Scope. That's it. You can continue to use the RAKC service in Scope without interruption – regardless of the current Scope version.
Please note that Riege Software cannot assist you requesting the access data due to legal constraints. However, we can assist you adding the details to Scope as shown below.
When entering the credentials, you need to start with the Acceptance environment (respectively, the Scope Test-System). You then may have to wait several minutes for the validation of the credentials, before you can successfully enter the credentials into the Production environment (Scope Live-System). Waiting is the best option, because right now there is no visible confirmation message for validation.
Use these access data to overwrite the current entries in "API Consumer Key" and "API Consumer Secret" in the Scope EU Security Service Settings.
For any issues with these EU provided credentials, either in EU production environment or in test environment, please check directly with the KSDA Helpdesk or the above mentioned e-mail address.
Where and how to add the details
Only admin users who have permission for the air security settings can open Settings > Airfreight > Air Export Security Setup and use the Extras > RAKC Service settings option. If you do not have the required permission, please ask Riege support to add the details to Scope via the Scope service request form.
- Go to Settings > Airfreight > Air Export Security Setup ... Extras > RAKC Service settings...
- In Scope Version prior 23.4 the fields are labeled username and password.
- Enter the new data you have retrieved from the KSDA compliance web page.
With this, you request a so-called token (identification mark), which gives you access to the database for a limited period of time. After expiration of the validity, a new token must then be requested.
Technical background
The EU has now released a new version 2.0 of the API. The old version (1.0) did expire in September 2023.
