JWT credentials

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

Supported authentication methods

  • Passphrase: Signed with a secret with HMAC algorithm

  • Private key (PEM key): For use with Private Key JWT with RSA or ECDSA algorithm

Using Passphrase

To configure this credential:

  1. Select the Key Type of Passphrase.

  2. Enter the Passphrase Secret

  3. Select the Algorithm used to sign the assertion. Refer to Available algorithms below for a list of supported algorithms.

Using private key (PEM key)

To configure this credential:

  1. Select the Key Type of PEM Key.

  2. A Private Key: Obtained from generating a Key Pair. Refer to Generate RSA Key Pair for an example.
