  • 1.  Support of JWT in java client services

    Posted Jun 17, 2022 10:29 AM
    ​We would like to use the JSON Web Token (JWT) when using ECI as the communications protocol.
    At that time support confirms it is not possible and it does not depend on what protocol is used.

    The Gen runtimes would need to be modified to make use of the JWT. It would be an enhancement that would require changes to code to use the proper APIs supplied by IBM to set the token and receive it as well.

    Is there any interest within the Community ?
    Any experience or idea with gen apps and JWT ?
    Many thanks

    Could this Idea be extended for general passing of the JWT within the HTTP header ? the idea is that using client generation within the Toolset a simple call to OpenID/Azure (what ever) for JWT validation could then be handled with inline code.
    We have implemented the pass with a cookie, however, not sure that is the most efficient method.
