How to specify the authorization token header in Swagger-UI

[j3d]

I'm documenting my REST API with Swagger... and it works fine. Now I've also added functionality for dealing with authorization. When an user logs in, he gets back a token that must be used in each subsequent request (i.e. each request must contain a header like "Authorization: Token af538baa9045a84c0e889f672baf83ff24"). How do I make swagger add this header? Since my API generates a different token for each log in, is there a way to specify the token in Swagger-UI?

Thanks.

if you're using oauth2, you can follow this guideline:

Otherwise, it's easy to programmatically add a header.  See here:

window.authorizations.add("key", new ApiKeyAuthorization("Authorization", "XXXX", "header"));
