Refresh an API token

Renew an existing API token to replace a lost or compromised token or to comply with enterprise security rotation policies.

The API token does not expire. However, you may choose to refresh your API token, which renews the existing token, if the token is lost, compromised, or to conform to your enterprise's security guidelines.

Before you begin

Follow these steps to refresh an API token:

Procedure

Step 1

Log in to Security Cloud Control.

Step 2

In the left pane, click Administration > API User Management.

Step 3

Click Refresh under the Token column. Security Cloud Control generates a new API token.

Step 4

Save the new token in a secure location in accordance with your enterprise's best practices for maintaining sensitive data.

Note

The Revoke, Refresh, Delete, and Edit options for the API-only user for the Dynamic Attributes Connector service account (csdac-service@tenantname) have been disabled. This is to ensure users don’t delete, edit, or revoke the API tokens for this API account, which is required for the Dynamic Attributes Connector functionality.

A new API token is generated and available in the Token column, and you have securely stored it according to enterprise policy.
