  • I would like to use the token service to generate a token for the user logged in on Windows, so I can use this token in my webapplication. How do I do this?

You can use the FME Server REST API to request a token, either directly or through the FMEServer javascript library. Some starting points:

@david_r I know those pages, but I don't want to pass the user-id and password in the URL. That's a security issue. I also don't want the user to supply his username or password. I want to use Single-Sign-On to request a token, so the user doesn't have to enter his credentials anywhere.

We have FME Server configured for Single-Sign-On, so a user is automatically authenticated with his Windows credentials. The interface of FME server is not user friendly enough for non technical persons, so we want to integrate a webpage into our intranet where a user can run workspaces.

Hi Martin, based on what you've described, I believe you are looking for this enhancement:
