Hi,

 

 

You could configure persistence using UIE. If it's XML over HTTP, and the token is in the headers, you could use HTTP::header. Else, if it's in the HTTP payload, you could use HTTP::collect and HTTP::payload. Else, if it's over TCP, you'd use TCP::collect and TCP::payload. Once you have the token you want to persist off of you can use persist uie. Here is an example from Deb for XML over HTTP:
