JWK management

When setting up JWT target authentication for an endpoint in the ION API user interface, a JWK key is generated. The JWK Management table, located on the General Settings tab, is used to keep track of generated JWK keys.

The JWK Management table can also be used for setting up ION API bridge credentials for a backend service application. To set up ION API bridge credentials:

  1. Navigate to the ION API application.
  2. Click Configuration.
  3. Click General Settings.
  4. Download a generated key from the ION API JWK Management table. The key generates into a .json file.
  5. Click Authorized Apps on the side-panel.
  6. While creating a backend service application, engage the Use Bridge Credentials slider.
  7. Click the User Impersonation and/or the ID Translation slider.
  8. Click Upload Public Key.
  9. Select the ionapi-bridge-public-jwt.json file downloaded previously.
