Typically, plugins contain some form of documentation when downloading.

I hope that gets you started.

shreekrishnat0001 are you able to resolve this ?

Do you have a problem related with this?

createtokenwithcustomclaims(
  externalSystemKey:"JWTKey", 
  sub:"bdn-3jOZsAi38MUo5PWhwyHP57tLWZnHspHPztA1HtKD", 
  iss:"bdn-3jOZsAi38MUo5PWhwyHP57tLWZnHspHPztA1HtKD",

Yes. I've configured the third party credentials with private key and used it in expression. However I received the same output "appianprivatekeypassword or appianprivatekey for Credential Store was null"

Hi Vijay

Check The Screen shots attached and follow the below steps -

1. Generate Public Key and Private Key , its okay to generate it from online tool too for testing, but later need to change it

2. Go to third party credentials in admin console

3. Create one credentials, its name is your external system key 

4. register field names as you are geeting error for the same key name and add public key generated as value as shown in screenshots for 2 and 3 point

5. allow your plugin to use 3rd party credentials 

thats all you need to do, if its configured correctly as steted above, you will be able to generate jwt token

Hi shreekrishnat0001 , Thanks for quick response. I've set up the below things, yet receiving same response.

How to test the connection in third party Credentials.?

createtokenwithcustomclaims(
  externalSystemKey:"JWTTokenKey", 
  sub:"bdn-3jOZsAi38MUo5PWhwyHP57tLWZnHspHPztA1HtKD",

Hi Vijay,

I think you may have missed configuring third party credentials in admin console

- prepare public key and private key 

- Goto admin console, 

- configure third party credentials 

- create two field appianPrivateKey and public key,

- Note: public and private key name should be exactly the same as you are getting error

- after this you need to pass same external system key in token functions

Hope this should work,

Thanks

Hi, 

Seems your configuration is correct, I seen it.

try it out and check if format of public key and private key is correct
