Authentication

Knovvu Biometrics uses an HTTP authentication scheme that involves security tokens for secure authentication.

Prerequisites

clientId and clientSecret information must be obtained from the SESTEK Sales Support & Operations Team. Once the subscription is established, Client ID and Client Secret will be sent, which should be utilized for token generation as outlined below.

How to generate a Bearer Token

Token Endpoint:

URL: {{AuthServerBaseUrl}}/connect/token
HTTP Method: POST
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Examples

Here's an example of a request:

curl --location 'https://identity.vb.useast.knovvu.com/connect/token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id=[client_id]' \
--data-urlencode 'client_secret=[client_secret]' \
--data-urlencode 'scope=votg-api'

And the corresponding response:

{
    "access_token": "[token]",
    "token_type": "Bearer",
    "expires_in": 86399
}
