Using Token to open a DB

[javaguy74]

I've used orientdb sometimes for personal projects, and now I'd like to use it in a webapp. I want to support the following use case:

1. The user selects a db from a list of existing databases
2. The user is asked to enter username/password
3. If the credentials are valid, a token is generated and stored in the user profile
4. From now on, db connection for that use happens through the token

In the OrientDB manual I read that it is possible to use a token for connecting to a db without having to enter the credentials each time, however I haven't been able to find a description of how does it actually work.

So can somebody confirm if orientdb supports the use case described above?

Assuming that the answer to the previous question is affermative, I found in the source code of the orientdb unit tests this approach to get a token:

ODatabaseSession db = orientDB.open(...);
OServer server = OServerMain.server();
OTokenHandlerImpl handler = new OTokenHandlerImpl( server );
byte[] tok = handler.getSignedWebToken( db, db.getUser() );
db.close();

But now, how do I use the token to reopen the database? OrientDB.open doesn't seem to take a token as parameter, so how am I supposed to proceed?

Thanks
