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.

         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.
