Description

vRealize Network Insight supports token based authentication. Tokens are non-modifiable identifiers returned by the system when the user has successfully authenticated using valid credentials. Token expires after expiry time returned in the response. All API requests must provide the auth token in Authorization header in following format:
Authorization : NetworkInsight {token}
If a token is invalid or expired, 401-Unauthorized error gets returned in the response of the API request.
There is limit of 100 valid tokens per user and further requests will return 401-Unauthorized. So, users are advised to delete the tokens after use
Expired tokens are cleaned periodically by the system.
