Use Token Authentication With Embedded Oracle Analytics Cloud Content

Use the token authentication method when you want to authenticate to Oracle Analytics Cloud in the background, but don't want to use 3-Legged OAuth.

Update the HTML page to allow for proper token authentication. For information about how to generate tokens, see Securing Authorizations in Oracle Cloud.

In the HTML page, set the TOKEN parameter to true in the embedding.js script reference.
Specify the security configuration type of token. Add the functions to retrieve the token to the application using the setSecurityConfig function. See the example below.

Example

This example uses an API to obtain the token. If your HTML page uses an API to obtain the token, then you must make the required API available.

Here project-path specifies the workbook's repository path.
