Get CIF Web Credentials

What are CIF Web Tokens?

This is a type of token which will authenticate a contact/borrower in NLS. Extremely useful for customer facing portal authentication.

Each contact record (cifno or contact_id) in NLS will be able to store web credentials (username/password).

Since a Web Token is used to authenticate a single contact, the token will only have access to records that are directly tied to that contact.
