# ExternalTokenInternetAccount

Auto-generated @jbrowse/mobx-state-tree API for the current JBrowse release —
see [pluggable elements](https://jbrowse.org/jb2-staging/docs/developer_guide/) for concepts. Provided by the
`authentication` plugin.
[View source](https://github.com/GMOD/jbrowse-components/blob/main/plugins/authentication/src/ExternalTokenModel/model.tsx).

Internet account that authenticates requests with a user-supplied external
token, prompting for the token via a dialog and optionally validating it with a
HEAD request. See [TokenEntryInternetAccount](../tokenentryinternetaccount) for
the shared behavior.

The configuration slots for this model are documented on its
[config schema page](../../config/externaltokeninternetaccount).

ExternalTokenInternetAccount declares no members of its own — it composes the
models below, and everything here is theirs.
