- the login of the user
- the password of the user
- the absolute idenfier of the environment you want to access to.
To get a token make a REST API call to the following URL
https://<<my server here>>/UAS/connect/token
You can make this call with a tool like Postman for instance. the request will be a POST request to which you will provide a set of parameters in the body.
