====User Account Configuration====
If you are attempting to use this library on a page built inside of BXP(such as keystat or form) you can simply use the DataX option when executing an API call to authenticate using the current users login credentials.
If however you are using the API from a page external to BXPor if you want all of your interactions to be performed by a specific user account, you must use supply the security credentials for a valid, active account in the target BXP system. By default BXP user accounts do not have external security credentials defined, so they may need to be set up for the account you wish to use. As with form configuration, you will need to either have User Account Edit permissions in BXP, or request that an admin for the target system assist you.
To check the security credentials for a BXP account, open the account for editing and then open the Primary Security Details tab. Both the External System ID and External System Key fields must be set in order for the account to be able to authentic authenticate through the API.
