gCube Token Portlet

The gCube Authorization Framework is based on the concept of Token. A token is basically a random string which encapsulates some information.

To generate qualified tokens or retrieve your token for a context you can use the Token Generator Portlet, deployed in almost all Infrastructure's contexts.
