JWT Support

Has anyone successfully used JWT (JSON Web Token) to integrate with another system? Is Appian able to decode a JWT? It is necessary to use a plugin? I found this plugin https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/jwt-web-token-tools in the app market and I think that with the decodeJWT function I can achieve this. Can someone confirm this please?

    Sure. The JWT tools plugin should get you started. For me, the actual implementation was always a longer trial and error as it seems like everybody creates JWT tokens in a different way.

    I have never used it myself but plugin you listed is indeed able to create and decode JWT tokens.

    I can't tell you if you need the use the plugin or not without having more info on what you're trying to do.

      Thanks Mathieu! I don't have any details of the integration they want to set up on this customer. They only asked me if a JWT could be decoded in Appian.
