How to use the API key Authentication in Saviynt REST connection JSON

Hi,

We have a requirement to use the API key as the auth type to get the API response.

Is it possible to use API key as an auth type in the REST connection JSON?

I have found the below connection JSON in the Documentation will it work?

{
"authentications": {
"acctAuth": {
"authType": "cookies",
"url": "",
"httpMethod": "POST",
"httpParams": {
"username": "<specify username>",
"password": "<specify password>",
"apiKey": "${apiKey}",
"timestamp": "${timestamp}"
},
"httpHeaders": {
"contentType": "application/json"
},
"cookies": "${cookies}",
"properties": {
"apiKey": "${apiKey}"
},
"httpContentType": "application/json",
"expiryError": "ExpiredAuthenticationToken",
"authError": [
"SESSION_NOT_VALID",
"AuthenticationFailed",
"HTTP error code : 401"
],
"timeOutError": "Read timed out",
"errorPath": "code",
"maxRefreshTryCount": 5,
"tokenResponsePath": "",
"tokenType": "",
"accessToken": "<specify access token>",
"retryFailureStatusCode": [
500,
502,
401
]
}
}
}

We are not using any username and password what should add in place of 

"username": "<>",
"password": "<>",
"apiKey": "${apiKey}",
"timestamp": "${timestamp}"

Best Regards,

Aditya Chadde
