Access Token

Attribute

AccessToken (ATK)

Purpose

Specifies the access token required to authenticate to a REST service when OAuth 2.0 is enabled (AuthenticationMethod=OAuth2). Typically, this option is configured by the application; however, in some scenarios, you may need to secure a token using external processes. In those instances, you can also use this option to set the access token manually.

Valid Values

string
where:
string
is an access token you have obtained from the authentication service.

Notes

*Access tokens are temporary and must be replaced to maintain the session without interruption. The life of an access token is typically one hour.
*This option is not required for all authentication flows. See “OAuth 2.0 Authentication” for a list of common authentication flows and their requirements. If you are unsure of the requirements for your authentication flow, contact your administrator for more information.
