A JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact, digitally-signed token used to securely send information. Its usual purpose is to authenticate users by verifying their identity between a client and a server.
Users with the ADMIN role can add and configure a JWT realm as follows:
-
Access the Realms tab of the Authentication administration interface.
-
Select JWT from the Available types menu to open the New realm drawer.
-
Configure the following parameters:
-
Optionally, configure profile mappers, migrate users from another realm, or configure multi-factor authentication.
- Fluid Topics does not issue JWTs directly. Instead, Fluid Topics integrates with an external authentication provider (such as an OpenID Connect provider) to get a JWT after user authentication. See JWT workflow diagram.
- It is only possible to create one JWT realm per portal.
