Generating a user authorization token

User authorization tokens convert the HCP user account username and password into a token that can be used by RESTful APIs to authenticate with HCP. A user authorization token is the HCP user account username encoded in base64 and HCP user account password encoded in an md5 hash. The token does not expire unless the HCP user account username or password changes.

To generate a user authorization token:

1.Click Generate Authorization Token.

2.In the Generate Authorization Token window that opens, type the username in the Username field.

3.In the Generate Authorization Token window that opens, type the password in the Password field.

4.Click Generate Authorization Token.
