Generate a Custom Server Token

Cloud Scale’s Authentication component allows you to implement a third-party authentication service of your preference for your Catalyst application. The authorization and validation of the end-user is handled by the third-party service, and the data is passed on to Catalyst.

When a user is re-directed from a third-party service after being authenticated, their credentials must be passed to an authentication function that you code. This function must include the Catalyst server-side script to generate a custom server token, which will then be passed to the Web SDK incorporated in the client code.

A sample code to generate a custom server token is given below:

    

        
copy
        

            

        
    
    

         ZCCustomTokenDetails customTokenDetails = ZCCustomTokenDetails.getInstance();
ZCCustomTokenUserDetails tokenUserDetails = ZCCustomTokenUserDetails.getInstance();
tokenUserDetails.setEmailId("${email_id}");
tokenUserDetails.setFirstName("${first_name}");
tokenUserDetails.setLastName("${last_name}");
tokenUserDetails.setRoleName("${role_name}");
customTokenDetails.setUserDetails(tokenUserDetails);
ZCCustomTokenResponse customTokenResp = ZCUser.getInstance().generateCustomToken(customTokenDetails);

    

You can now pass this token to the client logic as explained in this Web SDK help page .
