Hi All,


Need your advice on process of automating DSS Token generation.


As token is valid for 24 hours only, new token should be manually generted.

Please advice if there is a way to automate Token Generation.

When checking I found the below


(err, res) => {
// Set BEARERTOKEN
pm.globals.set("BEARERTOKEN", res.json().access_token)
// console.log(res.json());


Please advice how to include the above in below code


{


"Credentials": {


"Username": "DSS ID ",


"Password": " DSS PSwd"


}


}

    Thanks for reaching out to us.

    The script looks like to be a Postman script used to set a retrieved token to a Postman environment variable.

    As I know, the DSS REST API itself doesn't provide this feature. To get a new token, the client needs to send a request to the Authentication/RequestToken endpoint. The Automate Token generation should be implemented in the client application or library, not in the DSS REST API.

    Instead of using a token, you can use a basic authentication by specifying a DSS credential in the header of an HTTP request message.

    The request message looks like this:

    I hope that this information is of help.
