Refresh an API Token

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.

Procedure

Step 1

From the drop-down list under your username, click Preferences.

Step 2

In General Preferences > My Tokens, click Refresh Token. Security Cloud Control generates a new API token.

Step 3

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 Cisco Secure Dynamic Attributes Connector service account (csdac-service@tenantname) have been disabled. This is to ensure customers don’t delete, edit, or revoke the API tokens for this API account, which is required for the Cisco Secure Dynamic Attributes Connector functionality.
