Generating pairing tokens

Generating tokens is a secure way to establish trusted communication between different components of your integration landscape, especially for communication between cloud-based services or edge runtimes and on-premises Integration Servers.

Procedure

  1. Click Settings > OAuth 2.0 > Token Management.
    All available tokens are listed.
  2. Click Add New Token.
    The Add New Token dialog is displayed.
  3. From the Client drop-down menu, select an edge runtime for which the token must be generated. Select Hybrid connectivity if you want to generate a token to establish a hybrid connection between Integration Servers with cloud-based services.
  4. From the Expiry Time drop-down menu, select the number of days for which the token is valid. The default value is 30 days.
  5. Click Generate Token.
    The token is generated and listed.
  6. Copy the access token and save it in your local system for future reference.
  7. Click Close to exit the Add New Token dialog.
    The Token Management page is displayed and the newly added access token is listed.

Results

You generated a pairing token successfully. Key points to remember when using pairing tokens are as follows.

  • You can create multiple pairing tokens for using with a single edge runtime.
  • Do not delete any of the pairing tokens that are associated with an edge runtime. Otherwise, you cannot run the services or workflows that use the edge runtime. If you delete the pairing token, then the error message is displayed stating that the edge runtime is not available.
  • You cannot delete tokens associated with Cloud Designtime or Cloud Runtime.

What to do next

Use the generated tokens to add new edge runtime instances or establish hybrid connectivity.
