  https://docs.nevis.net/authcloud/getting-started/access-key,
  https://docs.nevis.net/authcloud/getting-started/rest-api — authentication
  model for the Nevis Authentication Cloud REST API. Derived from the published
  documentation rather than an OpenAPI securityScheme (Nevis does not publish a
  machine-readable OpenAPI for the Authentication Cloud REST API).
summary:
  types: [apiKey]
  api_key_in: [header]
  oauth2_flows: []
schemes:
  - name: AccessKey
    type: apiKey
    in: header
    description: >-
      REST API calls are authenticated with an "Access Key" created in the
      Authentication Cloud Management Console and sent on each request. The key
      scopes access to a single Authentication Cloud instance (tenant). The exact
      header parameter name is documented in the API endpoint reference.
    docs: https://docs.nevis.net/authcloud/getting-started/access-key
    sources: [docs.nevis.net/authcloud/getting-started/rest-api]
notes: >-
  End-user authentication is passwordless: FIDO2 / passkeys (Trusted key), the
  Nevis Access App device authenticator (Trusted device), OATH TOTP, SMS OTP, and
  recovery codes. The apiKey scheme above governs the server-to-server REST API,
  not the end-user authentication ceremony.
