The properties that have to be configured to use the policy are described below.
Figure 1: Generate Json Web Signature configuration attributes
Property | Description |
Secret Key | Where HS256 symmetric algorithm is chosen, Secret Key has to be provided. The minimum length of the string has to be 256 bit. |
Time to Expire | Specify how long the token should be valid; token expires after those many seconds. |
Headers | The Header table must have at least one Header bearing the name "alg". Click the Add button to add Header details. Generating JWSSymmetric algorithmWhile using Symmetric Algorithms like HS256, use "alg" Identifier value as "HS256". Asymmetric algorithmWhile using Asymmetric algorithms like ES256 or RS256, providing two headers — "alg" and "kid" is mandatory. |
