Enterprise Token Creation Process

Secure Token Generation

Enterprise Security: SettleMint's personal token creation process implements industry-standard security practices with role-based inheritance, audit logging, and organizational controls for production environments.

Personal Access Token Management

Navigate to your enterprise profile settings to create secure personal access tokens with role-based permissions for individual blockchain service access.

Access Personal Token Management

Click your profile picture or avatar in the upper right corner, then select Personal access tokens to access your enterprise token management interface.

Initialize Token Creation

Click "Add a personal access token" to open the secure token configuration form with enterprise security options.

Configure Token Parameters

Token Name: Assign a descriptive identifier for personal tracking and enterprise audit purposes
Expiration Policy: Set strategic expiration dates based on organizational security policies (non-modifiable after creation)
Role Inheritance: Automatically inherits your organizational role permissions (admin or user)

Finalize Token Creation

Click Confirm to generate your enterprise-grade personal access token with cryptographic security and organizational audit trail integration.

Enterprise Security Protocol

Critical: Immediately copy and securely store your token using enterprise password management systems. This token provides individual user-level access and cannot be retrieved after creation.

Enterprise Token Revocation

Security Incident Response

Immediate Action: For compromised tokens or discontinued integrations, implement immediate revocation to prevent unauthorized access to enterprise blockchain services.

Access Personal Token Management

Navigate to your profile settings and select Personal access tokens to view all active authentication tokens.

Locate Target Token

Review your personal access token list and identify the token requiring revocation for security or operational reasons.

Execute Secure Deletion

Click Delete adjacent to the target token and confirm by typing DELETE to ensure intentional revocation with immediate effect.

Enterprise Integration Methods

Production-Ready Authentication

Flexible Integration: SettleMint supports multiple authentication patterns to accommodate diverse enterprise architectures and individual user requirements.

Authentication Patterns

Enterprise-Standard HTTP Headers

# Secure header-based authentication
curl -H "x-auth-token: YOUR_PERSONAL_TOKEN" \
  https://myservice.settlemint.com/api/endpoint

Business Benefits:

Industry-standard HTTP authentication for individual users
Compatible with enterprise API gateways and security policies
Secure transmission with TLS encryption
Ideal for personal development and testing environments

URL-Based Authentication

# Query parameter authentication
https://myservice.settlemint.com/api/endpoint?token=YOUR_PERSONAL_TOKEN

Business Benefits:

Simple integration for personal development workflows
Direct URL-based access control with individual permissions
Compatible with web browser integrations and testing tools
Suitable for rapid prototyping and personal experimentation

URL Path Integration

# Path-based authentication for specialized services
https://myservice.settlemint.com/YOUR_PERSONAL_TOKEN/api/endpoint

# IPFS service integration
https://myservice.settlemint.com/YOUR_PERSONAL_TOKEN/api/v0/add

# Blockchain node access
https://myservice.settlemint.com/ext/bc/C/rpc/YOUR_PERSONAL_TOKEN

Business Benefits:

Service-specific authentication patterns with personal credentials
Optimized for blockchain node integrations with individual access
Enhanced security through path-based routing and role inheritance
Native support for distributed storage protocols with user permissions

Enterprise Architecture

Best Practice: Implement header-based authentication for production environments to maintain security standards and ensure compatibility with enterprise security infrastructure while preserving individual user accountability.

Enterprise Token Strategy: Application vs Personal Access

Strategic Decision Framework

Enterprise Guidance

Strategic Recommendation: Application access tokens are optimal for production systems and automated processes, while personal access tokens excel for individual development workflows and user-specific integrations.

Application Access Tokens

Production systems requiring 24/7 availability
Automated processes independent of individual users
Service continuity unaffected by personnel changes
Granular scope control for enterprise security
System-to-system authentication patterns

Personal Access Tokens

Individual development and testing workflows
User-specific integrations requiring personal accountability
Role-based access inheriting organizational permissions
Personal responsibility for credential management
Simplified authentication for individual use cases

Enterprise Implementation Guidelines

Application Access Tokens Recommended

Business Continuity: Tokens survive organizational changes and personnel transitions
Service Reliability: Automated systems maintain consistent access regardless of user status
Enterprise Security: Granular scope control enables zero-trust architecture
Operational Efficiency: Reduced dependency on individual user accounts

Use Cases: Production APIs, automated workflows, system integrations, CI/CD pipelines

Personal Access Tokens Recommended

Individual Accountability: Personal tokens enable user activity tracking and audit trails
Development Flexibility: Inherit role-based permissions for appropriate access levels
Simplified Management: Self-service token creation reduces administrative overhead
Security Alignment: Automatic permission inheritance ensures compliance with organizational policies

Use Cases: Personal development, testing environments, prototype integrations, individual research

Enterprise Best Practice

Production: Application access tokens for all automated systems and critical services
Development: Personal access tokens for individual developer workflows and testing
Governance: Clear policies defining when to use each token type
Security: Regular auditing of both token types with organizational oversight

Benefits: Optimal security posture with operational flexibility and individual accountability

Enterprise Security

Key Consideration: Personal access tokens are immediately invalidated when users leave the organization, ensuring automatic security cleanup and preventing unauthorized access to enterprise blockchain services.
