Create Vidm User Token

vRealize Network Insight supports token based authentication. Tokens are non-modifiable identifiers returned by the system when the user has been successfully authenticated using valid access token provided by configured VMware Identity Manager appliance. Token expires after expiry time (returned in the response). All API requests must provide the auth token in Authorization header in following format:
Authorization : NetworkInsight {token}
If a token is invalid or expired, 401-Unauthorized error gets returned in the response of the API request.
