Authentication → Get Token Details

AI-generated

Summary

Retrieves metadata and expiry information for an existing BIG-IP iControl REST authentication token by its UUID, using a GET request to /mgmt/shared/authz/tokens/{tokenUuid}.

Inputs

  • Token UUID (required) — UUID of the authentication token to look up. It is inserted into the request URL path. The field is masked as a password input.
  • Request Options — Optional node settings: batching (items per batch, default 50, and batch interval in ms, default 1000), Ignore SSL Issues, an HTTP proxy URL, and a request timeout in ms (default 10000).

Output shape

The JSON response from the BIG-IP token endpoint for the given UUID, returned as the node's output item. This is the token's metadata, including expiry details.

The exact response fields come from the BIG-IP and are not defined in the node. The node uses the bigIpF5Api credential for the host and SSL setting. An unknown or expired UUID will most likely return an API error.

Examples

Example 1: Check how long a previously issued token remains valid before running further BIG-IP calls.

Resource: Authentication; Operation: Get Token Details; Token UUID: an expression referencing the token returned by Request Token.

Example 2: Look up a token from a self-signed lab device.

Set Token UUID, then under Request Options enable Ignore SSL Issues.
