Authentication API

Use the Authentication API to generate, refresh, and manage JSON Web Tokens (JWT) that are required for authorization in all Enterprise Control Room APIs.

The JWT authorization is based on the roles and permission of the user's account that is used in the request body.

An authentication token's default time out is 20 minutes. Note: The default timeout for tokens is configurable.
Include the Authentication token or Bearer token in a header file for requests in other Control Room APIs.
Header file example: -H X-Authorization <authentication token> or Authorization:Bearer <bearer token>
