Dell SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.3

Acquire new token

You can acquire a new token by calling the Login REST API. A successful Login API call using the basic authentication generates a new set of token.

$ curl -X GET -k -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://$TARGET/login 
{
    "access_token": "abc.123.xyz",
    "token_type": "bearer",    
    "refresh_token": "efg.456.uvw"
}

On successful login, JSON data returns 'access_token' and 'refresh_token' as keys. You can parse the data and save the token values for subsequent requests.

$ export ACCESS_TOKEN="abc.123.xyz"
$ export REFRESH_TOKEN="efg.456.uvw"

The following is an example of a RS256 signed token:
