Understanding Authentication Tokens
In order to make requests to the Legalesign platform you'll need an access token, for most of our examples this is the first step to take care of. Legalesign uses Cognito to provide enterprise-grade security and these examples use the Amazon SDK to handle authentication.
The examples given below are provided to help you get valid token for integrations on any platform. You should remember to keep this process server-side, i.e. code executed on your server without exposing or the values you use to the public or user interface. Once you have a token you can pass this onto your client interface, web pages or CRM.
OAuth2 is a protocol allowing applications to authenticate with the API, and the security implementation is based on the OpenID Connect framework. To obtain an access token and make calls to the API, you can use any supported OAuth2 authentication workflows, such as Client Credential or Authorization Code Grant.
