Connection Authorization Token

Connection Authorization Tokens (CAT) are required to authenticate a VPN connection. They are very similar to Subscription Receipt Tokens but have a much shorter lifetime of usually only 3 days.

Internally the SDK will refresh the CAT automatically when needed and there is no way to force-refresh it. The CAT will contain all VPN related entitlements aka the brand.vpn entitlement and the server will use the entitlement details to authenticate the connection.

How to use a Connection Authorization Token

This is a token which you will use frequently. You will fetch it from the SDK and use the raw token value as an authentication parameter to a Lightway VPN Connection or to request a WireGuard Session Token.
