Token Manager

Description

The Token Manager is a web service that issues tokens. Tokens are used instead of user credentials when consuming GIS services that have token-based security enabled on them. Tokens are also used for consuming the Administrator API through a script or application. Token Manager exposes a REST-ful interface along with an HTML page to fetch tokens manually. An instance of the token manager is integrated into the Administrator API and can be reached at:

1
https://server:6080/arcgis/admin/generateToken

For backwards compatibility, another instance of token manager is available at:

1
https://server:6080/arcgis/tokens/generateToken

However, the above instance of Token Manager is configured by the administrator and started up only when token-based security is enabled on the GIS server. Use the update token configuration operation to change the token manager.
