juju gui login through token instead of user name and pass ?

[alex barchiesi]

Dear all,
we are trying at GARR to setup a page to give access through a SAML proxy.
This would ideally map a SAML user to a juju user and login into the GUI
without the need for the user to know a password.
I wonder if the GUI allows a way to access through API o anything that
could help accomplishing the fore-mentioned task.

Also I was taking a look into https://jujucharms.com/
juju-gui/142#charm-config-login-help
juju gui server charm and noticed at the chapter: The Juju GUI server

I quote for convenience: "
*It allows for logging in into the GUI via a timed token. This is used,
forinstance, by Juju Quickstart to allow automatic user's authentication."*
so I wonder what a timed toked is and how to generate one.

thanks in advance
