Authorize a third-party connection to the FactoryTalk-enabled product

Use
FactoryTalk Web Token Authorization
 to create client ID and client secret pairs. A third-party product can use the client ID and client secret registered with the FactoryTalk system by
FactoryTalk Web Token Authorization
 to acquire a security web token. After acquiring a security web token, the third-party product can use the token to access web APIs in FactoryTalk-enabled products.
FactoryTalk Web Token Authorization
 can disable or delete the client ID and client secret to revoke the token issued to the third-party product. The previously issued token will be invalidated after 60 minutes. To ensure the functionality, FactoryTalk Directory Server Services need to be installed on the FactoryTalk Directory server computer.
