API/User Token expire clarification in SMG

Products

• Messaging Gateway

Issue/Introduction

When user's password that belongs to the API Key is going to expire, does the token also "expire" or is it  not until the specified time in token creation expires?

Environment

SMG 10.9.

Resolution

• The API token is created with an expiration date that you specify during its configuration. This expiration is independent of any user password settings. Even if the associated admin account's password expires, the API token will remain valid until the expiration date set during its creation.
• As of a password, it's worth noting that in the API token configuration, there’s no direct password involved. Instead, the API token is tied to an admin account, which determines the access privileges.
