Web Service Security Token Overview

What is a Web Service Token
	A Web Service Token is an alphanumeric string that encrypts user access and privilege information in a secure and easily transferred representation. The creation and distribution of Web Service Tokens is controlled by the Aimia Loyalty Solutions clients. Web Service Tokens are created using the Kognitiv Loyalty Platform. All organizations accessing the SBLP-WS must have a corresponding Web Service Token. Software vendors providing a solution to multiple Aimia Loyalty Solutions clients will need to obtain a unique Web Service Token for each client database they access. Web Service Token must be supplied as a required parameter in all SBLP-WS operations. The creation of a Web Service Token requires a corresponding Vendor record and Web Services Security Role with the Kognitiv Loyalty Platform.

Obtaining a Web Service Token
	After logging into the Kognitiv Loyalty Platform, there is a 'document' module under the 'HOME' menu Item (left side of page towards the bottom). You can download the Adobe .pdf document titled 'Creating a Web Service Security Token', this will explain the steps to create a Web Service Security Token.
