API security token manager
The API security token manager provides the storage configuration for security objects,
which include OAuth providers and user security. Each domain has the default
API
security token manager. This instance is used by the domain to store and manage API
details.
The API security token service uses gateway-peering instances for one or both of the following purposes.
- Internal token store
- This instance stores and manages internal OAuth token data. Data must persist across a restart.
- External token store
- This instance stores and manages the responses from external OAuth token management services, which requires that responses are cached. Data does not need to persist across a restart.
