After NCPA is installed on a server, instead of using the Nagios XI NCPA configuration wizard to connect the server to Nagios XI, is there a command to initially connect the server?

Or is it possible to make a call to the Nagios API from the server with NCPA to initialize the connection, which would then store the token? The idea is to avoid anyone from knowing what the tok...

When creating/updating custom plugins after the initial NCPA configuration to Nagios XI, since the token needs to be defined in $ARG1$ of each service check definition, is there a way to automatically retrieve this token if the NCPA has already been configured to Nagios XI?
