What Are Registration Tokens?
A registration token is a unique identifier generated for a customer for the purpose of authentication. A registration token is used to generate authorization (auth) tokens. Together they support the authentication of specific licenses.
An administrator user creates and shares registration tokens with the users who will use registration- and auth token-based authentication to consume licenses.
Registration Token Status
The Status attribute available on the Registration Tokens page specifies the status of a registration token:
>Enabled: The registration token is enabled and can be used to create auth tokens.
>Disabled: The registration token is disabled and cannot be used to create auth tokens. To edit the token, you must enable it.
>Expired: The allotted time for the registration token ended. The registration token is listed as enabled but cannot be edited.
Prerequisites for Creating a Registration Token
An administrator user can create a registration token using the customer portal.
Adding a Registration Token
In the navigation pane, click Access Management > Registration Tokens to view the Registration Tokens page. Then click the Add Registration Token button to open a page that lets you create a registration token.
