Authentication Service API

The Authentication Service gives the client program the ability to log in to the Appliance. TIBCO LogLogic® Web Services methods require an authentication token to validate that the client program has access to the Appliance. Instead of using a username and password (or basic authentication) with every Web Service call, the TIBCO LogLogic® Web Services infrastructure implements a “token” based authentication scheme. Token-based authentication schemes help prevent passwords from being exposed. Only the “token” needs to be included in code, or cached in memory by the client side application. Additionally, the authentication “token” is not applicable, or usable, by the Appliance’ user interface.
