# mytoken
`mytoken` is a central web service with the goal to easily obtain OpenID Connect access tokens across devices.
`Mytoken` is a web service to obtain OpenID Connect Access Tokens in an easy but secure way for extended periods of time
and across multiple devices. In particular, `mytoken` was developed to provide OIDC Access Tokens to long-running
compute jobs.
A user can create a special string called `mytoken`. This mytoken then can be used to obtain OpenID Connect access
tokens from any device. The power of a mytoken can be restricted by the user, so they can create exactly the token they
need for a certain use case.
The mytoken command line client can be found at [https://github.com/oidc-mytoken/client](https://github.com/oidc-mytoken/client).
A go library for interacting with the mytoken server can be found at [https://github.com/oidc-mytoken/lib](https://github.com/oidc-mytoken/lib).
Access Tokens can be obtained via so-called **`mytokens`**: A new token type that can be easily used as a Bearer token
from any device. These `mytokens` can be restricted according to the particular use case to only allow the needed
privileges..
