App & API Protector, App & API Protector with the Advanced Security module Activate an onboarding on the staging or production networks. Before you can proceed, call Validate onboarding domains to confirm domain ownership. You'll need to validate using the Application Security API even if you've previously validated elsewhere. Note that you need to activate on the staging network before you can activate on production. Additionally, with this operation you can only activate on one network at a time. Once you activate on staging, you can test your site as you normally would when using Property Manager or any of our security products.
