Generating a user authorization token
User authorization tokens convert the HCP user account user name 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 user name encoded in base64 and HCP user account password encoded in an md5 hash. The token does not expire unless the HCP user account user name or password changes.
