Using tokens in arcgis rest api queries

Question

Hello, I have a web page that takes a query then submits it the the ArcGIS server rest end point, http://myserver/arcgis/rest/services/myService/MapServer/0/query the web page looks like the following image and I sucessfully pass the parameters and receive the results. My issue is that I am reading from a secured service and every time I hit the button "Get the Map" it asks me to login the arcgis server. I know that I can use a token to get the results, but unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to include it in the submit button. <form name="sdform2" action="http://MyServer:6080/arcgis/rest/services/MyService/MapServer/1/query" method="post"> <tr valign="top"> <p hidden> <td>Where:td> <td> <input type="text" Name="where" Id=whereNodes value="NID='test'" size="45"> p> <br> <br> <table border=".1"> <tr align="center"> <td width="120">Titletd> <td> <p hidden> <input type="text" id="outNodeFields" name="outFields" value="*" size="75"> <select name="f"> <option value="kmz">KMZoption> <option value="json">jsonoption> select> p> td> <td> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> td> tr> table> form>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Any help is highly appreciated.

I haven't taken the approach that you have, but I would try something like the following. You will need to log in at some point to get a token, and it will time out eventually, but you can reuse it a number of times. If the layer is publicly shared, a token may not be required. <form ......> <input type="hidden" id="token" name="token" value="your token goes here"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> form>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
