Using Security Tokens |
Scroll |
While using Basic authentication, the client sends their credentials with every request. The credentials include the user name and password. A Therefore Token can be used instead of the user's password. To retrieve the token, use one of the following methods: GetConnectionToken or GetConnectionTokenFromADFSToken.

•When sending a token to the server, inform the server by setting the UseToken HTTP header to "1". Please read more about the UseToken header here. •The token must be Base64-encoded.
