Overview
User Tokens enable a pre-authenticated user or external application to connect to JD Edwards without re-entering a username and password. A user token has a limited lifetime, which is configured in Environments.
Whenever a user logs into JD Edwards with their username and password, a new user token is generated automatically. A user token can also be generated manually by an administrator to provide pre-authenticated access to JD Edwards.
