Third-party JWT for Credenza API

JWT Connector Creation

To create a JWT connector, follow these steps to configure the necessary fields and claims.

  1. Log in to developers.credenza3.com.

  2. Navigate to the Access and Permissions tab.

  3. Select JWT Connectors.

  • Click the Create Connector button.

In the connector form, fill in the following details:

  • jwks_url - The URL for the JSON Web Key Set.

  • credenza scopes - Select the scopes that will be available for third-party access tokens.

You can find the available scopes from Credenza's openid-configuration. Avoid selecting offline.access and openidscope.

Specify the required claims:

  • iss should have a specified value with name set to null.

  • sub should have name specified with the value set to null.

You can add optional claims with both name and value specified.

Sub and iss claims are usually pulled from the token decoded on jwt.io.

Connector Purpose

A JWT connector primarily performs the following functions:

  • Specifies the jwks_url.

  • Indicates the issuer.

  • Maps claims to retrieve user information.

When creating a connector, define the scopes you are providing and replace necessary data to accept third-party keys. This setup allows third-party keys to work seamlessly with our API.
