MES API Authentication

Mobile Endpoint Security (MES) APIs require authentication to access their services.

API Users obtain a key and then use that key to acquire an access token to use in each API call.

Key lifetime is one year. MES sends expiration emails to all registered tenant administrators 30 days before expiration and periodically at 21, 14, 7, 5, 3, and 2 days in advance, until the key expires. This schedule provides enough time for you to generate and deploy a new key.

Access token expiry is 2 hours after which users must use their key to acquire a new access token.
