Table of Contents

Bichon maintains two types of tokens per user, each serving a different purpose.

1. WebUI Token

  • A single, internal token per user
  • Not visible to the user
  • Generated on each login
  • Stored in localStorage
  • Expiration is enforced server-side
  • Controlled by bichon_webui_token_expiration_hours
    • Default: 168 hours (7 days)
  • Closing the browser does not log the user out
  • The user remains logged in until the token expires or they explicitly log out

2. API Tokens

  • User-managed tokens
  • Users can create multiple API tokens
  • No hard limit on the number of API tokens
  • Intended for programmatic access (API usage), including bichonctl
