Authenticating using a token

Note: The following instructions are applicable to the Print Management Console, mobile authentication, and Chrome extension authentication.

To protect resources, the LPM REST API token uses JSON web token for verifying access claims. Depending on the credentials provided during authentication, the REST service may issue an administrator or user token.

Note: The user token has limited resource access.

By default, the token validity is 30 minutes. To update the expiration time, do the following:

  1. From your computer, navigate to the <install‑Dir> \Lexmark\Solutions\apps\idm\WEB-INF\classes folder, where <install‑Dir> is the installation folder of LDD.
  2. Using a text editor, open the idm-production-config.properties file.
  3. Specify the value for idm.token.expirationInMinutes.
  4. Save the file.
