Generate a token in the console

Use the console to generate an authentication token that you can use to access PE APIs. If SAML is configured, you must have a token to use CLI tools, such as orchestrator jobs or PuppetDB queries triggered from the command line. Generate and export a token to the machine you want to run the CLI tool on.

1. In the console, on the My account page, click the Tokens tab.
2. Click the Generate new token tab.
3. Under Description, enter a description for your new token.
4. Under Lifetime, select the length of time you want your token to be good for.
5. Click Get token.
6. Click Copy token.
   Store the token somewhere secure and do not share it with others. You cannot regenerate this token again once you close this page.
7. Click Close.
