Enerflo's Delegated Authentication enables an external application to create direct links into Enerflo. When users click from your application to Enerflo, they can be securely authenticated in real-time and seamlessly redirected to the desired Enerflo resource/page without having to manually enter their Enerflo credentials.

See Figure 1.1 for suggestions of a generalized workflow you may consider.

Build Your Workflow

Does your user already have a valid session? Use GET https://enerflo.io/check/auth to request a gated resource (webpage). If the user has already been logged in, then this allows you to bypass the JWT exchange and reduce server load. See full documentation here. If the user is not logged, then proceed to Step 2.
Request a JWT token. Use POST https://api.enerflo.io/api/oauth/token to request a JWT token. Tokens expire in 60 seconds and can be exchanged for a user session as outlined in Step 3. See full documentation here.
Exchange token and login the user. Use GET https://enerflo.io/verify/auth to exchange the token for an active user session and then automatically redirect. Your token can be provided either as a header value or as a URL parameter.
