- This will ask you to name your token, provide a name and click "Generate"
- A Token has now been created, click on the eye icon of the newly generated token to view and copy it.
- Note it down for use in SecurityTrax
Once you have your account Username, Password and Token do the following to set up the Single Sign On inside SecurityTrax:
- While logged into SecurityTrax, click on your Avatar and select Account.
- Note: Each user will need to set this up for themselves in their account settings.
- In the navigation area on the left, select Integrations.
- Select an Interactive Service Provider that is integrated with Alarm.com.
