[SAML Platform Authentication] How i can generate an Auth. token post SAML Platform Authentication Activation?.

samsuddin chisti

Question

We are trying to perform some logic for an automated user and team creation/management (IT User – On Lifetime) but failing to do so due to no value/token returned by Authentication_GetToken of the LifeTime Services API.

Is anyone aware how we can generate a token post activating the SAML Platform Authentication as an external Authentication ?.

We have to pass this generated Authentication token to create team/groups using TeamManagementService on Outsytems .

Hi Samsuddin,

Since you want to create teams/groups, I would suggest you use the LifeTime_API_v2.
This API will use the service account that you create in Lifetime and you will not need the end-user token.
