What Are Client Tokens?

This is a temporary token which can be used by an application to perform administrative tasks. To request a client token, you will need a self-signed token that uniquely identifies your application so that the SmartVault service can recognize it. After redeeming your self-signed token, SmartVault will hand you the client token and an expiration. Once you are in possession of a client token, you can use it to log on as your client program. You can also exchange this token for a delegation token.
Client tokens will be unique to a user and should be stored securely.

How Long Do Client Tokens Last?

Client tokens are short lived, generally 24 hours, in order to limit the amount of time an attacker has with a stolen token.
