These are the unique strings of characters generated by an authentication system for MetaDefender Sandbox after a user successfully logs in. Instead of using the username and password for every request, the server issues a token that represents the user's authenticated session.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
EXTERNAL_TOKENS_SECRET_KEY | This is a randomly generated secret key to encrypt external authentication tokens (used by OAuth 2.0). Such tokens are encrypted before they are saved to the database. Do not change the default value. |
INTERNAL_TOKENS_SECRET_KEY | This is a randomly generated secret key to encrypt internal tokens. These internal tokens are used within Sandbox for specific tasks like authentication (JWT) and password resets. Encrypting these tokens with a secret key adds a layer of security, and decrypting them allows us to verify their authenticity when users interact with MetaDefender Sandbox. |
