How to create and manage access tokens in azure?
Get started with Azure Communication Services by using the Communication Services Identity SDK. It allows you to create identities and manage your access tokens. Identity is representing entity of your application in the Azure Communication Service (for example, user or device).
What is inside the Microsoft identity platform token?
For details on what’s inside the access token, clients should use the token response data that’s returned with the access token to your client. When your client requests an access token, the Microsoft identity platform also returns some metadata about the access token for your app’s consumption.
What are the different versions of access tokens?
There are two versions of access tokens available in the Microsoft identity platform: v1.0 and v2.0. These versions govern what claims are in the token, ensuring that a web API can control what their tokens look like.
How are tokens used in the distributed environment?
Some of the token technology that arose from this need include JSON web token and OAuth 2.0. STS enables clients to obtain the credentials they need to access multiple services that live across distributed environments.
How to get an access token for OAuth 2.0?
To get an access token for OAuth 2.0 API integrations, review Set Up Your Development Environment for Enhanced Packages. For your authentication requests, we recommend using our tenant-specific Marketing Cloud-branded endpoint structure, which includes your tenant’s subdomain.
How often should I request a new access token?
Do not request a new access token for every API call you make—-each access token is good for an hour and is reusable. Making two API calls for every one operation is inefficient and causes throttling. Be careful where you store your client ID and secret.
When does an OAuth token expire in Salesforce?
Access tokens expire one hour after they are issued. If you attempt to use an expired token, you receive a 401 Unauthorized HTTP response. If this happens, refresh your access token by calling requestToken again. Follow these considerations when using the API directly and doing your own OAuth token management.
