Generate a Custom Server Token

Cloud Scale’s Authentication component allows you to implement a third-party authentication service of your preference for your Catalyst application. The authorization and validation of the end-user is handled by the third-party service, and the data is passed on to Catalyst.

When a user is re-directed from a third-party service after being authenticated, their credentials must be passed to an authentication function that you code. This function must include the Catalyst server-side script to generate a custom server token, which will then be passed to the Web SDK incorporated in the client code.

Parameters Used

import zcatalyst_sdk

def handler(context, basicio):
    app = zcatalyst_sdk.initialize()
    auth = app.authentication()
    resp = auth.generate_custom_token(
        {
            "type": "web",
            "user_details": {
                "first_name": "Amelia",
                "email_id": "amelia.burrows@zylker.com",
            },
        }
    )
    basicio.write(str(resp))
    context.close()

You can now pass this token to the client logic as explained in this Web SDK help page.
