JSON Web Token
1.0

This feature allows the runtime to create JSON Web Tokens(JWT).

Enabling this feature

To enable the JSON Web Token 1.0 feature, add the following element declaration into your server.xml file, inside the featureManager element:

<feature>jwt-1.0</feature>

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the server to construct a JSON Web Token (JWT) for an application:

<keyStore id="defaultKeyStore" password="keyspass"/>

<jwtBuilder expiresInSeconds="600" id="myBuilder" issuer="https://example.com" keyAlias="default"/>

The ID attribute for the jwtBuilder element named myBuilder identifies the JWT builder, and uses the default keyAlias attribute to locate the private key. The issuer attribute in the example is the URL http://example.com that identifies who issued the JSON Web Token. The expiry attribute indicates the token expiration time, which is 600 seconds.
