Generating Security Tokens using the Hedvig WebUI

The procedure for using the Hedvig WebUI to generate security tokens depends on whether you are logged in with Hedvig SuperUser privileges or you are logged in as the actual user. You can deactivate, delete, and activate these tokens.

Procedure

  1. Login to the Hedvig WebUI with the appropriate credentials (Hedvig or LDAP user).

  2. This step varies depending on whether you are logged in with Hedvig SuperUser privileges or as the actual user.

    • If you are logged in with Hedvig SuperUser privileges, select the User icon at the top right. In the pulldown menu, select User Administration -> User Management.
