Generating a New Token
...
The token itself has certain metadata associated to it to help provide more insightful tracing and debugging of a token.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Token Name | This is for display only and to help you recognize tokens after they have been created. The name should closely resemble how you intend to use the token. |
Expiration Date | A token can no longer be used once the Expiration Date has been reached. It is possible to define a token with no expiration, though it is not recommended. |
Last Accessed On | This provides a timestamp of when the token was last used. You can use this for both monitoring suspicious activity and determining if a token is still in use. |
Last Accessed Origin | This shows the IP address from where the token was last used. Similar to Last Accessed On, this can be used to monitor suspicious activity. |
