If you're creating a web app that needs to automatically authenticate with Flickr, without any user intervention, you'll need to supply an API key, secret and user token.
Usually, the user token is generated creating a request to Flickr, sending the user across to the site for them to authenticate and them returning to the site.
If you only want to work with one user, account, you can store the token (in your web.config for example) and reuse it.
This script allows you to connect to enter your application details, takes you through authentication with Flickr and generates your user token.
