Token-based authentication to AEM as a Cloud Service by Adobe

Abstract

AEM exposes a variety of HTTP endpoints that can be interacted with in a headless manner, from GraphQL, AEM Content Services to Assets HTTP API. Often, these headless consumers may need to authenticate to AEM in order to access protected content or actions. To facilitate this, AEM supports token-based authentication of HTTP requests from external applications, services or systems.

In this tutorial well explore how an external application can programmatically authenticate and interact with to AEM as a Cloud Service over HTTP using access tokens.

External Application overview
This tutorial uses a simple Node.js application run from the command line to update asset metadata on AEM as a Cloud Service using Assets HTTP API.

Local Development Access Token
Local Development Access Tokens are generated for a specific AEM as a Cloud Service environment and providing access to Author and Publish services. These access tokens are temporary, and are only to be used during the development of external applications or systems that interact with AEM over HTTP. Instead of a developer having to obtain and manage bonafide Service Credentials, they can quickly and easily self-generate a temporary access token allowing them to develop their integration.
