Tokens are only necessary for working remotely with data in Nuvolos. Nuvolos applications are automatically set up to connect to data stored in Nuvolos.

The credentials to access data are not regular Nuvolos credentials. To obtain the required credentials to access data, please navigate to the , and click the CONNECTION GUIDE button:

The connection guide contains important information to connect to Nuvolos from non-Nuvolos applications:

  1. Username is the username with which it is possible to connect to the database back-end of Nuvolos.

  2. Password is the password - which is not the usual Nuvolos credential - it is a string generated for only connecting to the database.

  3. Finally, a convenience command is provided that contains the necessary connection information in order to access the database back-end of Nuvolos.
