Personal Access Token Authentication for Web Service APIs

You can now generate and use “Personal Access Token(s)” for Web Services API authentication. Optionally you can also disable the use of Basic Authentication for Web Services via a new Web Service Basic Auth Permitted System Property.

In the user definition if Web Service Access is allowed, the user or an administrator can generate Personal Access Tokensfor API authorization:

If the Expiration is left unspecified, the token never expires.

Once generated a Personal Access Token cannot be viewed again.

You can now authenticate with a controller Web Service API by specifying the Personal Access Token as a Bearer token on the request Authorization header.

Code Block
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ucp_OyGyWb7ujBlTD0VACjUmeRSY5UrG81aRYMIQqeRA" https://localhost:8443/uc/resources/task?taskname=Example

While it is recommended you use the Authorization header, if required, you can alternatively pass the Personal Access Token using the access_token query parameter.

Code Block
curl https://localhost:8443/uc/resources/task?access_token=ucp_OyGyWb7ujBlTD0VACjUmeRSY5UrG81aRYMIQqeRA&taskname=Example

You can manage Personal Access Tokens through a number of new Web Service API endpoints.
- Create Personal Access Token
- Revoke Personal Access Token
- List Personal Access Tokens
- Optionally list Personal Access Tokens on Read/List User Payloads
