 # Private Registry Authentication
 
-To authenticate against private registries, the auth token can be inserted into the `terraform_registry_host` postgres table.
+To insert credentials for private registries, the auth token can be updated with an API call.
 
-``` sql
-insert into "terraform_registry_host" ("hostname", "auth_token")
-    values ("example-private-registry.com", "xxxxxx")
+``` bash
+curl  -X POST \
+    -d '{ "data": { "token": "xxxx"} }' \
+    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+    https://localhost:9443/api/v1/credentials/example.com
 ```
 
-An API call to do this is planned.
+Likewise, to delete a credential, the auth token can be deleted via a `DELETE` request.
+
+```
+curl  -X DELETE https://localhost:9443/api/v1/credentials/example.com
+```

 The terraform [provider network mirror protocol](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/internals/provider-network-mirror-protocol) requires that the API request be performed over encrypted HTTPS.
 Terrashine itself does not currently perform TLS termination, a reverse proxy must always be deployed to perform this function for a working setup.
 
+## Securing the admin API
+
+Terrashine provides an API endpoint which should be protected by the reverse proxy.
+Endpoints hosted under the `/api/` should be considered privileged and not exposed externally without an authentication layer.
+Currently, authentication should be implemented by the reverse proxy and is not natively supported by terrashine.
+
 ## External Caching
 
 Caching is optional however, terrashine sets `Cache-Control` headers where possible to allow caching by external reverse proxies.
