---

Prerequisites:  
- Have reseller ID and IP address of the sub-reseller  
- Have valid authentication parameters: auth-userid and api-key  

Steps:  
1) Use the HTTP GET method to call the API endpoint:  
   `https://test.httpapi.com/api/resellers/generate-login-token.json`  
2) Include the following query parameters in the request URL:  
   - `auth-userid` (Integer): Your authentication user ID  
   - `api-key` (String): Your API key for authentication  
   - `reseller-id` (Integer): The reseller ID of the sub-reseller  
   - `ip` (String): The IP address of the sub-reseller  
3) Submit the GET request with these parameters to generate a login token.  
4) If successful, the API returns a token string that can be used to login to the Sub-Reseller’s Control Panel.  
5) Use the token in the URL format below to access the Sub-Reseller Control Panel:  
   `http://login-URL/servlet/AutoLoginServlet?userLoginId=XXXXX&amp;role=reseller`  
   Replace `XXXXX` with the generated token.  

Warnings:  
- The login token is valid only for 120 seconds from generation.  
- In case of errors, the API response will include a key `&quot;status&quot;` with value `&quot;ERROR&quot;` and will provide an error message.  

Summary:  
You can generate a temporary login token for a sub-reseller via the API using required authentication parameters and sub-reseller details. The token allows brief access to the sub-reseller’s control panel for 120 seconds.
