📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The "Rotate a Token" section in the universal identity authentication documentation is updated to replace outdated shell script guidance with current Akeyless built-in commands. The uid-auto-rotate command set replaces the prior manual approach, with sample init instructions and a reference to uid-rotate-token for custom automation.

In `@docs/Accessing`

- Line 90: Replace the phrase "key rotation" with "token rotation" in the UID
section sentence that references the built-in `uid-auto-rotate` command set,
updating "Frequent key rotation is a best practice" to "Frequent token rotation
is a best practice" and ensure any other occurrences in the same UID section
consistently use "token rotation" (search for "key rotation" within the
UID/auth-with-universal-identity section and change to "token rotation") while
preserving the reference to the `uid-auto-rotate` command.
