exchangeToken

Function

Request app-specific token, passing in the token for the current app.

This call returns a token after performing the same checks made by validateAppAccess. It returns an app-specific token of the signed-in user only if the user has access to the app and the encrypted platform cookie is valid.

A scenario where an app would use this is if it is iframed into another platform app and receives credentials via postMessage. Those credentials contain a token that is specific to the host app, so the embedded app would use exchangeToken to get one that is specific to itself.

Note: This is only usable by Esri applications hosted on *arcgis.com, *esri.com or within an ArcGIS Enterprise installation. Custom applications can not use this.
