How do I obtain authorization tokens?

An auth-token and refresh-token is a valid JSON Web Token provided by FeatureBase after the user is authenticated.

These tokens are used to authenticate your user when TLS authentication is enabled, and with the following features:

  • HTTPS API
  • gRPC API
  • Backup FeatureBase
  • Restore FeatureBase from backup
  • Grafana connector authentication

NEVER share your auth-token or refresh-token. These identify and authenticate you with FeatureBase and can be misused.
