Description
Creates a token for accessing the REST API via a custom identity provider. The user credentials must be passed in a format understood by the custom identity provider, e.g., a third-party auth token in an HTTP header. The exact format of the user credentials expected by the custom identity provider can be discovered by 'GET /access/token/identity-provider/usage'. The token returned is formatted as a JSON Web Token (JWT). The token is base64 encoded and comprised of three parts. The header, the body, and the signature. The expiration of the token is a contained within the body. The token can be used in the Authorization header in the format 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'.
