Client needs to be able to show "NOT PUBLISHED" nodes to VIP's in their institution.
Said VIP's ... apparently are not expected to remember a username/password ... to the drupal install. (its, unfortunately not part of their larger AD/authentication schema... ... but I digress).

So the question is : Will this module allow the content editors to give a URL to a VIP, which they can click on, and view the content even though they are "anonymous" and the node is "NOT PUBLISHED"?

I'm guessing this is much like the user password reset link that drupal will sent to a person's email address, which has a long random character string in the URL to make it semi private/semi secure.

Let me know if you need more details.

Thank you!

Sorry I missed this, I imagine it is far too late.

Token Authentication allows a user to authenticate as themselves. It will only work on configured paths of the site. And it is not a one-time link, but rather will remain a viable "token" until the it is reset.
