After you obtain an authentication token, how do you apply it to subsequent actions?
Answer Options
Add it as a variable named X-Auth-Token in the script.
Place it in the header of the request as an X-Auth-Token element.
Pass the token in the URI of subsequent requests.
Perform a POST for the authentication token within 10 seconds of the subsequent request.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
After the initial POST to obtain the authentication token, it should be placed in the header of subsequent requests as an X-Auth-Token element. You will most likely use a variable to store the token, but a variable by itself is not enough to authenticate subsequent requests. The token is not passed in the URI of subsequent requests. Although performing a POST within 10 seconds of the subsequent request is a good idea, if the token is not placed in the header, it will not authenticate you.
