RandomKeygen is a free mobile-friendly tool that offers randomly generated keys and passwords you can use to secure any application, service or device. KEY RandomKeygen - The Secure Password & Keygen Generator. The client application should store the JWT and send it with every request to the API. If the token is stolen, a malicious third party can impersonate the legitimate user for as long as the token is valid. Sign your tokens with a strong key, and keep their expiration times low. Let’s create a simple tool generatekey.php which will. The scenario as an OAuth2 password grant. We want to validate the client key & secret and assuming that is correct then validate the resource owner user id and password.Looking through documentation I can't see a way to validate key & secret without generating a token - which would then have to be revoked if resource owner authentication failed.

This topic describes tasks and procedures that you can perform to ensure that your AD FS token signing and token decryption certificates are up to date.

Token signing certificates are standard X509 certificates that are used to securely sign all tokens that the federation server issues. Token decryption certificates are standard X509 certificates that are used to decrypt any incoming tokens. They are also published in federation metadata.

For additional information see Certificate Requirements

Determine whether AD FS renews the certificates automatically

By default, AD FS is configured to generate token signing and token decryption certificates automatically, both at the initial configuration time and when the certificates are approaching their expiration date.

You can run the following Windows PowerShell command: Get-AdfsProperties.

The AutoCertificateRollover property describes whether AD FS is configured to renew token signing and token decrypting certificates automatically.

If AutoCertificateRollover is set to TRUE, the AD FS certificates will be renewed and configured in AD FS automatically. Once the new certificate is configured, in order to avoid an outage, you must ensure that each federation partner (represented in your AD FS farm by either relying party trusts or claims provider trusts) is updated with this new certificate.

If AD FS is not configured to renew token signing and token decrypting certificates automatically (if AutoCertificateRollover is set to False), AD FS will not automatically generate or start using new token signing or token decrypting certificates. You will have to perform these tasks manually.

If AD FS is configured to renew token signing and token decrypting certificates automatically (AutoCertificateRollover is set to TRUE), you can determine when they will be renewed:

CertificateGenerationThreshold describes how many days in advance of the certificate's Not After date a new certificate will be generated.

CertificatePromotionThreshold determines how many days after the new certificate is generated that it will be promoted to be the primary certificate (in other words, AD FS will start using it to sign tokens it issues and decrypt tokens from identity providers).

If AD FS is configured to renew token signing and token decrypting certificates automatically (AutoCertificateRollover is set to TRUE), you can determine when they will be renewed:

• CertificateGenerationThreshold describes how many days in advance of the certificate's Not After date a new certificate will be generated.
• CertificatePromotionThreshold determines how many days after the new certificate is generated that it will be promoted to be the primary certificate (in other words, AD FS will start using it to sign tokens it issues and decrypt tokens from identity providers).

Determine when the current certificates expire

You can use the following procedure to identify the primary token signing and token decrypting certificates and to determine when the current certificates expire.

You can run the following Windows PowerShell command: Get-AdfsCertificate –CertificateType token-signing (or Get-AdfsCertificate –CertificateType token-decrypting). Or you can examine the current certificates in the MMC: Service->Certificates.

The certificate for which the IsPrimary value is set to True is the certificate that AD FS is currently using.

The date shown for the Not After is the date by which a new primary token signing or decrypting certificate must be configured.

To ensure service continuity, all federation partners (represented in your AD FS farm by either relying party trusts or claims provider trusts) must consume the new token signing and token decryption certificates prior to this expiration. We recommend that you begin planning for this process at least 60 days in advance.

Generating a new self-signed certificate manually prior to the end of the grace period

You can use the following steps to generate a new self-signed certificate manually prior to the end of the grace period.

1. Ensure that you are logged on to the primary AD FS server.
2. Open Windows PowerShell and run the following command: Add-PSSnapin 'microsoft.adfs.powershell'
3. Optionally, you can check the current signing certificates in AD FS. To do so, run the following command: Get-ADFSCertificate –CertificateType token-signing. Look at the command output to see the Not After dates of any certificates listed.
4. To generate a new certificate, execute the following command to renew and update the certificates on the AD FS server: Update-ADFSCertificate –CertificateType token-signing.
5. Verify the update by running the following command again: Get-ADFSCertificate –CertificateType token-signing
6. Two certificates should be listed now, one of which has a Not After date of approximately one year in the future and for which the IsPrimary value is False.

Important

To avoid a service outage, update the certificate information on Azure AD by running the steps in the How to update Azure AD with a valid token-signing certificate.

If you're not using self-signed certificates…

If you are not using the default automatically generated, self-signed token signing and token decryption certificates, you must renew and configure these certificates manually.

First, you must obtain a new certificate from your certificate authority and import it into the local machine personal certificate store on each federation server. For instructions, see the Import a Certificate article.

Then you must configure this certificate as the secondary AD FS token signing or decryption certificate. (You configure it as a secondary certificate to allow your federation partners enough time to consume this new certificate before you promote it to the primary certificate).

To configure a new certificate as a secondary certificate

1. Open PowerShell and run the following: Set-ADFSProperties -AutoCertificateRollover $false
2. Once you have imported the certificate. Open the AD FS Management console.
3. Expand Service and then select Certificates.
4. In the Actions pane, click Add Token-Signing Certificate.
   
5. Select the new certificate from the list of displayed certificates, and then click OK.
6. Open PowerShell and run the following: Set-ADFSProperties -AutoCertificateRollover $true

Warning

Ensure the new certificate has a private key associated with it and that the AD FS service account is granted Read permissions to the private key. Verify this on each federation server. To do so, in the Certificates snap-in, right-click the new certificate, click All Tasks, and then click Manage Private Keys.

Once you've allowed enough time for your federation partners to consume your new certificate (either they pull your federation metadata or you send them the public key of your new certificate), you must promote the secondary certificate to primary certificate.

To promote the new certificate from secondary to primary

1. Open the AD FS Management console.
2. Expand Service and then select Certificates.
3. Click the secondary token signing certificate.
4. In the Actions pane, click Set As Primary. Click Yes at the confirmation prompt.
   

Updating federation partners

Partners who can consume Federation Metadata

Generate ssh key for sourcetree. If you have renewed and configure a new token signing or token decryption certificate, you must make sure that the all your federation partners (resource organization or account organization partners that are represented in your AD FS by relying party trusts and claims provider trusts) have picked up the new certificates.

Partners who can NOT consume Federation Metadata

If your federation partners cannot consume your federation metadata, you must manually send them the public key of your new token-signing / token-decrypting certificate. Send your new certificate public key (.cer file or .p7b if you wish to include the entire chain) to all of your resource organization or account organization partners (represented in your AD FS by relying party trusts and claims provider trusts). Have the partners implement changes on their side to trust the new certificates.

Promote to primary (if AutoCertificateRollover is False)

If AutoCertificateRollover is set to False, AD FS will not automatically generate or start using new token signing or token decrypting certificates. You will have to perform these tasks manually.After allowing a sufficient period of time for all of your federation partners to consume the new secondary certificate, promote this secondary certificate to primary (in the MMC snap-in, click the secondary token signing certificate and in the Actions pane, click Set As Primary.)

Updating Azure AD

AD FS provides single sign-on access to Microsoft cloud services such as Office 365 by authenticating users via their existing AD DS credentials. For additional information on using certificates see Renew federation certificates for Office 365 and Azure AD.

This page will explain you how to generate a Security Token and how you can use it to authenticate against our API.

What is an API Token?

Security information: API tokens are like passwords, they allow total access to your account, do no share them! If you believe one of your tokens was compromised, delete it and create a new one.

API tokens are unique identifiers associated with your Scaleway account and consist of an Access Key and a Secret Key. The Secret key is required to authenticate against our API and will only be displayed when you create the token. Make sure to take a note of it and to keep it secret.

What are Access Key and Secret Key?

Generate Token Online

Before you can start using our API, you need to generate a Security Key and Access Key pair. Consider the Access Key as a login, and the secret key as a password. A token is the pair of those 2 values.

• An Access Key can identify a token.
• It’s not a sensitive piece of information.
• The Secret Key is the value that can be used to authenticate against the API (the value used in X-Auth-Token HTTP-header).
• The secret must stay secret and not given to anyone or publish online.

Each Scaleway account can have several tokens (so several pairs of access-key + secret). Several tokens are useful to give different applications access to the same Scaleway account. However, you remain in control and you can revoke access to any application individually.

Tokens that have been generated before the introduction of the Secret Key can be used without restriction. For Security reasons it is recommended to use Secret Keys whenever possible.

How to generate an API Token?

• Open the drop-down menu on your account name and click on Credentials.

• To generate a new token, click on Generate new token in the Tokens section of the page.

C# Generate Access Token

• The Access Key and the Secret Key will show on your screen. Take a note of the Secret Key as it will not be recoverable.
