Generate Nuxeo user token to be used in third party application

Mouad_Bichouari — Thu, 16 Jul 2020 14:23:06 GMT

Hello, I have an application that should use Nuxeo API to list documents/rename them.. The issue here is that Nuxeo and my application have distinct user directories (and should stay that way..). My question is: Does Nuxeo expose a UI component (pop up for example..) for the user to type its credentials and pass me the token so that I can do some work on his behalf through Nuxeo API? If not I'm open to any suggestion that would solve my issue :) Thanks

The user from your application already exists in the nuxeo database?
