RestAPI support for Token Authentication rather than Basic Authentication

Looking for a future service availability to support Token Authentication, either with RestAPI or new one.

As per my conversation with an IBM engineer on another troubleshooting call; support of Token Authentication by RestAPI is planned in future version of SFG, in later 2021. And as we have a dependability and will plan our code release accordingly, so wanted a confirmation on the same .


What is your industry? Financial Markets
How will this idea be used?

With Token Authentication enablement in RestAPI or any other service, in Sterling Integrator we will then be able to fetch real-time passwords from DAP- CyberArk and this will reduce the load of manual password updates or periodic changes.

With DAP integration our loads of burden will be reduced and things will work automatically.
