Using an application password

An application password gets locked to the first application it is used with. For example, if a password is used to connect the Engineering Workflow Management Eclipse IDE to a Engineering Workflow Management server, then it can be used only with that particular Engineering Workflow Management server. If you need to connect to a different Engineering Workflow Management server, a new password must be generated. But the same password can be used with different clients such as Engineering Workflow Management Eclipse IDE and repotools-ccm commands, on the condition that it is always used with the same Engineering Lifecycle Management application.

1. Use the application password in place of your regular account password in the clients that you use. For example, you might store the password in the Repository Connection properties that are configured in the Engineering Workflow Management Eclipse IDE, or use it with the -adminPassword command option in a repotools command. If your client stores passwords in a file, the application password is saved in that file, instead of your account password.
2. You can delete or revoke a password by using the Manage Personal Tokens UI. You can also revoke a password by using the administrative UI at /oidc/endpoint/jazzop/usersTokenManagement as shown in the following image:
