# Get JWT Token for a User

When calling the Software Container Delivery REST API, a producer user must authenticate themselves, using the "/authenticate" endpoint. The FlexNet Operations producers pass their credentials to the "/authenticate" endpoint, which creates a JSON Web Token (JWT) that can be used to authorize access to any endpoint of the Software Container Delivery REST API. Credentials are a Base64-encoded combination of the producer's user name and password separated by a colon (:).
