Create an Authentication Token

Overview

An authentication token is required for AddressTools to communicate with ProvenWorks services. Without it, address verification cannot run.

Creating the token is the first step on the AddressTools Administration tab and takes about a minute.

Note

A new or refreshed sandbox often inherits the production token, which does not work in the sandbox. After creating or refreshing a sandbox, click Update Token to generate a token for it.

Step 1: Open the AddressTools Administration Tab

  1. Click the App Launcher to search for and select AddressTools Administration.
  2. Stay on the Installation tab, which opens by default.

Step 2: Create the Token

  1. Find the Create an Authentication Token step.
  2. Click Create Token.

A confirmation message reads "Authentication Token has been created successfully".

Note

If a token already exists in your org, the button reads Update Token instead. Clicking it replaces the existing token, which is useful if the token has stopped working.
