Generate long live tokens for inter-service communication #

Using Cipher EIAM, you can generate authorization tokens for a duration lasting up to 365 days so that your API calls are secured and trusted applications can continue to work for longer durations without having to re-authorize themselves. The steps are the same for mobile applications as well as web apps.

What is token? #

A token is something that an application uses in order to check whether the API request is coming from an app that is authorized to make the API call Bots are application servers who themselves need an access token to act on behalf of themselves rather than any other subjects or resource owners.

E.g. if a microservice A depends on another microservice B for a critical functionality and needs authorization, then microservice A can be a ‘bot’.
