What are the authentication options available for APIs from Apigee without using any external identity store.

Not applicable

Posting this on behalf of a customer.

We want to secure our APIs with user credentials, but don't necessarily need/want to use OAuth. We're also not concerned with end users as our partners will take care of authing them. So all we really care about is that our partner's app sends its credentials to us for authentication, preferably every time an API call is made. We don't have a separate identity store so is there any good way to do this all within Edge? API Key method seems to fit our needs, but it only sends one part of the credentials and so would seem to be not as secure

if not API key or OAuth, you can consider a 2-way SSL option with your partner and apigee edge.
