JSON Web Tokens

In System Administration > JSON Web Tokens a system administrator can generate a JSON Web Token (JWT), which is required for authenticating between design applications when eShare is using Azure AD authentication.

Starting from 2024T3, JSON Web Tokens created in eShare conform to the standard RFC 7519 method. Due to these changes, all previously generated JSON Web Tokens will cease to be valid. After upgrading from 2024T2 or older, all JSON Web Tokens need to be generated again to continue using any integrations using JSON Web Tokens.

• To open the JSON Web Tokens view, select JSON Web Tokens in the menu.

  

Generating a JSON Web Token

Do the following:

1. Select System Admin in the main menu. The system administration view opens.

2. Select JSON Web Tokens in the menu.

3. Select the correct user from the User drop-down menu. The client will be authenticated with the selected user.

4. Select Generate Token. The generated JSON Web Token opens in a Generated JSON Web Token (JWT) dialog.

5. Copy the JSON Web Token and use it in the Authorization header of your service requests. After copying the Web Token, select OK to close the dialog.
