• Key Concepts: 
  A refresh token is a type of security token used in SAP BC-SEC Security. It is used to obtain a new access token without having to re-authenticate the user. The refresh token is sent to the authentication server along with the access token, and if the authentication server verifies that the refresh token is valid, it will issue a new access token.
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use a refresh token, the user must first authenticate with the authentication server. Once authenticated, the user will receive an access token and a refresh token. The user can then use the refresh token to obtain a new access token without having to re-authenticate.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that refresh tokens are only valid for a limited amount of time, so it is important to keep track of when they expire and renew them as needed. Additionally, it is important to keep the refresh tokens secure and not share them with anyone else.
