Working with APIs as a Provider

You use API tokens to authenticate yourself when you make authorized API connections for Omnissa Cloud Services. An API token authorizes access per organization.

How do I generate API tokens?

API tokens are scoped within individual organizations. To manage a customer organization using the API, you have to generate an API token within that organization.

1. Switch to the organization for which you want to generate an API token.
2. Click your user name and click My Account > API Tokens.
3. Click Generate A New API Token.
4. Enter a name for the token, select the expiration period.
   A Token Generated pop-up window appears. You can copy, download, and print the token.
5. Define which roles in the organization can have access to the API tokens.
6. Select whether you want to receive an email reminder when the token is about to expire.
7. Click Generate.

The API token is generated and you can use it to access the Omnissa Cloud Services Console APIs. The token is valid for the selected time period. You must then regenerate the token if you want to continue using APIs that rely on it.

Enable Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)

From the MFA section in API tokens, click Activate MFA device. Scan the QR code using the authentication application on your virtual MFA device. Enter the six-digit authentication passcode that appears every 30 seconds on the app.

Regenerating or revoking API tokens

To regenerate an API token that is about to expire, click a token's Regenerate button.

To revoke a token you no longer need to use, click a token's Revoke button. You can also revoke all tokens by clicking the Revoke All Tokens button.
