    Generate a JSON Web Token (JWT)

    Create a JSON Web Token (JWT) for representing claims securely between two parties on the Now Platform.

    The GlideJWT API is a scoped, scriptable API which generates a JWT. There are three arguments necessary before generating the JWT:
    • Sys_id of JWT Provider
    • JSON serialized header
    • JSON serialized payload
    There are two JWT API scripts, JWTTokenInternal and JWTTokenRestricted, that you can use when configuring a JWT Provider. The JWTTokenRestricted script enables administrators to configure who can generate a JWT. The JWTTokenInternal script is read-only and enables only logged in users to generate a JWT.
    To generate a JWT:
    • Create a JWT Key with a shared key (HMAC) or a signing keystore (RSA)
    • Associate a JWT provider with the signing configuration referring a JWT key
    You can use the API to create your token.

    You can use standard and custom claims when configuring a JWT provider. You can pass dynamic header and payload claims as part of the generateJWT API signature.

    Example

    Sample script to test API:
    var jwtAPI = new sn_auth.GlideJWTAPI();
    var headerJSON = {  "kid": "a1234"  };
    var header = JSON.stringify(headerJSON);
    
    var payloadJSON = { "jti": "testjti", "iss": "testiss", "sub": "testsub" };
    var payload = JSON.stringify(payloadJSON);
    
    var jwtProviderSysId = "7a40dde2d5303300964fb7c8f3c14ab5";
    var jwt = jwtAPI.generateJWT(jwtProviderSysId, header, payload);
    
    gs.info("JWT:" + jwt);
