Token Access | |
New in Tiki5, and improved since Tiki9. Allows to access the content with superior rights with the presentation of a token. The primary use of this authentication method is to grant temporary access to content to an external service. Ex.: an external service needs to crawl your content to make a report. It is also possible to combine with Share. This is good if you want to give a one time access to a page or a file, without creating a username/password and setting the group and permissions. This is especially useful if you want to share a large file without having to send it via e-mail. Starting in Tiki9, there is an admin panel at: "Admin home > Security > Tokens" (tiki-admin.php?page=security&cookietab=5):

Using a token | |
A token looks like this http://demo.tiki.org/trunk/tiki-index_raw.php?TOKEN=937d83bc9dc6ede58d247df505011t43

Limitations | |
You cannot edit already created tokens. The token param requested in the URL must always be in uppercase letters: The URL used to generate the new token should not contain any URL encoded values, like https://yoursite/tiki-ajax_services.php?controller=tracker&action=export_items&trackerId=3&encoding=UTF-8&separator=%2C&delimitorL="&delimitorR="&CR=%25%25%25&listfields[]=2&listfields[]=3&recordsMax=-1
Instead you need to use URL like this to create the token: https://yoursite/tiki-ajax_services.php?controller=tracker&action=export_items&trackerId=3&encoding=UTF-8&separator=,&CR=%%%&recordsMax=-1
