# How to generate user tokens on Replicon

# Using Replicon Security API reference page

Navigate to Replicon's Security API reference in Replicon API Documentation (opens new window). If prompted, log into your account.
On the Security API reference page, look for the AuthenticationService1.svc/CreateAccessToken2 and click Try it now.

Replace the JSON payload with the following code, and edit the fields as needed. You can remove the lifetime field, which creates a permanent token.

{
  "identity": {
    "loginName": "user_name"
  },
  "lifetime": {
    "days": 0,
    "hours": 0,
    "minutes": 0,
    "seconds": 30,
    "milliseconds": 0
  },
  "description": "test",
  "unitOfWorkId": "12345"
}

Click Execute.
Ensure that the Response Code is 200, and that a token generates inside the JSON response body.
Copy the generated token and place it inside the Workato connection setup.
