How to use api/login service when using SSO authorization

[itinjic]

In the staging environment I used api/login to get the access token, in that environment is normal Saviynt authentication. When I try to use this API on a production environment this is not possible because SSO authentication is used (SAML SSO).

How to get an access token in this case and is it possible to turn off SSO authentication on certain API endpoints as in this case api/login ?

Yes, I have already done this, this approach works but now I have to make changes in the code (in the scripts that call API). The "issue" with this is that the access token is valid for 3600 sec and that  logic must be created to refresh the token.

Token expires  after 8 hrs .

You can create api user and use same
