About

Generation of a token can help a student that is having trouble with the three secrets (private email, birthdate, student ID#.)

The tokens generated can be used to allow a student to bypass those questions and go directly to provisioning their account.

Granting Access

Access is controlled by a specific file on the server: WTTOOLSAPPPRD
File: C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\cgi-bin\batchtokens

How to use it

If you have rights to use generate tokens, visit https://tuftstools.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/batchtokens
Authenticate using your Tufts Username / Tufts Password
You can look up students a number of ways, the preferred look-up is using their Student ID#
If looking up multiple students, place one student ID number per line. example below
- ```
Correct:
99100102
99100103
99100104

Wrong:
99102109,99102110,
```
If any errors are detected you must resolve them before tokens are generated
Select Generate to download a CSV file with the tokens attached for each student you generated
Make sure to give the RIGHT token to the RIGHT student, as this token is the only step that will tell Tufts who the student is. Giving the wrong token to the wrong student will result in a student provisioning the wrong account.
Tokens are live for 7 days.

Important to keep in mind

You must validate the identity of the student before giving them a token. This should be done by the standard identity validation process used by the service desk
Only new students to the university should be using the token and account onboarding process.

Note: Privileges are granted via the batchtoken_users.txt file on the TuftsTools server.

From WTTOOLSAPPPRD go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\cgi-bin

Edit batchtoken_users.txt file and add user's UTLN, one entry per line
