Tokens

Tokens provide authorization for agents, agent relays, users, and external systems or applications from the server. Agents use tokens when they run process steps and communicate with the IBM® UrbanCode™ Deploy server and external services.

Users can use tokens with the command-line interface (CLI) client instead of supplying a user name and password in certain situations. For information, see Command-line client (CLI) reference.

Follow these steps to create a token. You can also create a token through the CLI; see createAuthToken.

  1. Log in as a user with the "Manage Security" permission. See Setting server configuration security.
  2. On the server, click Settings > Tokens > Create Token. The Create Token dialog box.
  3. From the User list, select the user for the token.
    Note:

    If you are using the token to integrate with IBM UrbanCode Release, you must specify the administrator.

    If the token is for an agent relay that is intended to use component version replication, the user must have a role that has the Read Artifact Set List permission. For information about the Read Artifact Set List permission, see Setting server configuration security.

  4. Specify the expiration date and time.
  5. To limit the use of the token to certain IP addresses, specify one or more IPv4 addresses in CIDR notation in the Allowed IPs field, such as 10.15.10.0/24.
    Note: If you are using clustered servers as described in Setting up high-availability clusters, leave this field blank.

Tokens can be used immediately after they are created. You can revoke a token at any time by clicking Delete in the Actions column.
