I am configuring the Parse server in my project. Since I had never messed with this, I tested before in a test application and ran 100%. I was trying to set up again for my android project and now it requests a master key. Anyone know where I got this from the project?
In the field it shows that it is an optional item, but if I do not add anything it gives an error and returns with the message above.
The Master Key (master key) is a security mechanism. Using the master key ignores all security mechanisms in your application, such as class level and ACLs .
Having the master key is like having root access to your application. You should protect your primary key with the same that you protect yourself from root password on your production machines
You can generate a Master Key by generating a random ID with an online UUID generator or simply closing your eyes and banging your head on the keyboard about 3 times that will work. =)
