mytoken

Mytoken is a web service to obtain OpenID Connect Access Tokens in an easy but secure way for extended periods of time and across multiple devices. In particular, mytoken was developed to provide OIDC Access Tokens to long-running compute jobs.

Access Tokens can be obtained via so-called mytokens: A new token type that can be easily used as a Bearer token from any device. These mytokens can be restricted according to the particular use case to only allow the needed privileges.

Mytoken focuses on integration with the command line through our command line client

but also offers a web interface. A demo instance (using the prerel branch) is available at https://mytoken.data.kit.edu/. For Production use https://mytok.eu Mytoken is a central web service with the goal to easily obtain OpenID Connect access tokens across devices.

Documentation is available at https://mytoken-docs.data.kit.edu/.

A go library for interacting with the mytoken server can be found at https://github.com/oidc-mytoken/lib.
