The token endpoint is used to get an access token, which is needed to authorize a request to a resource endpoint. (When a request is sent to a resource endpoint, it must include an access token.)
To get the access token, you send a request to the Token URL for your identity provider. The identity provider attempts to authenticate the user. If the user is valid, the token URL sends a response with the access token.
The token endpoint is specific to your identity provider.
