JWT

There's no dedicated JWT connection type because the JWT is a special format of the Authorization header. See the basic connection section for more information.

Generating a JWT

To generate the token, use the following code:

Code example

{
  "url": "https://mock.api/connect",
  "temp": {
    "jwt": {
      "iss": "https://iam.the.issu.er",
      "iat": "{{timestamp}}",
      "exp": "{{timestamp + 30000}}",
      "scope": ["rest_webservices"],
      "aud": "https://iam.the.audien.ce/services/rest/auth/oauth2/v1/token"
      },
    "options": {
      "header": {
        "kid": "{{parameters.clientId}}"
	}
      }
    },
    "headers": {
      "authorization": "Bearer {{jwt(temp.jwt, parameters.clientSecret, 'HS512', temp.options)}}"
    }
}

The options argument refers to the same options object as in the npm library.

In this example, you can build a JWT payload inside the temp variable called jwt.

Inside the Authorization header, call the IML function named jwt. The jwt function accepts four parameters:

1. The payload to be signed.

2. The secret to sign the payload.

3. The algorithm. The supported algorithms are HS256, HS384, HS512, and RS256. The default value is HS256. This parameter is optional.

4. A custom header to customize the JWT authorization header. This parameter is optional.

This function will output a JWT token which you can use in the Authorization header.
