Hello:
Due to the network security, the existing environment didn't have internet access and we are using Duo Authentication Proxy. However, we have 2 API with the same API Host. May I know how can I config Duo Authentication Proxy to have 2 API skey and ikey?
Thanks!

We are using the same DUO account for the API Host. We have created 2 Partner Auth API and all of the user need to perform MFA through Duo Authentication Proxy.
API Host
========
api-713xxxxx.duosecurity.com
Partner Auth API
==============
Auth API-01
ikey: 1Ixxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
skey: 1Sxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Auth API-02
ikey: 2Ixxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
skey: 2Sxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We just have only one Duo Authentication Proxy with below authproxy.cfg (Existing working fine)
=============
[duo_only_client]
[cloud]
ikey=1Ixxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
skey=1Sxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
api_host=api-713xxxxx.duosecurity.com
[http_proxy]
api_host=api-713xxxxx.duosecurity.com
port=443
=============
Is it possible that add additional Auth API-02 to the existing Duo Authentication Proxy?
Thanks!

@Alan Tang I am not sure why you would be using an Auth API application type with the Duo Authentication Proxy. That's not the intended application. As a means of providing 2FA to applications, Duo Authentication Proxy is intended for use with RADIUS or LDAP applications . You may experience unintended effects if you use the wrong type of application.
We also have some named RADIUS applications we've vetted for specific devices, like Netscaler Gateway. You can find these by searching for "RADIUS" on the documentation index or the Application Catalog in the Admin Panel.
Otherwise, Ken answered the underlying question well. You may also find these resources helpful:
Can the Proxy be configured for multiple Duo applications?
Can you have multiple API hostnames in one Duo Authentication Proxy?
Can the Duo Authentication Proxy be used to protect multiple applications?
Can the Duo Authentication Proxy include multiple client sections?
Edited to add: if a third-party vendor told you to create Partner Auth API applications to use with the Authentication Proxy, do you mind sharing which vendor did this? That way our tech partners team can reach out to them and ask them to stop giving out incorrect instructions.
