Application Shortcuts; New "Web Services Token" type shortcut added

A new "Web Services Token" type Application Shortcut has been added to allow a token to be supplied to external Web Applications. The Web Application can then use the Web Services Authenticate.AuthenticateUserToken service to sign in to the Web Services without the User having to re-enter their credentials.

The Application Shortcut wizard now supports creating "Web Services Token" type Application Shortcuts providing the database is licensed for the Web Automation Add-On and Token-based Logins are enabled under Global Settings, Web, General.

The business layer finBL.CreateApplicationShortcutWebServicesToken() method can also be used to create Application Shortcuts.

The Web Services API Reference, the finPOWER Connect Summary Pages (Version 2) document and the finPOWER Connect Web Services Connectivity and Programming Guide have all be updated to provide more information on Application Shortcuts and Token-based Logins (where appropriate).
