Helper JWKS

JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) helper

When generating a token using a JSON Web Key (JWK) as signature, either JSON Web Key Sets (JWKS, also called as keypair) or the public key can be used to decode and validate the token. With this helper it's possible to obtain the target public key (called JWK) specifying the related JWKS (keypair). Either JWKS (keypair) or public key (target JWK) can be used to validate the related generated token.

Source JSON Web Key Sets (keypair)

1. Configure the JSON Web Key Sets source

JKWS endpoint?

JWKS (keypair)

Sample JSON Web Key Sets

Key Id

Key use

Signature (sig)

Encryption (enc)

2. Configure the corresponding action

Create a submit action (tipically a screen action) to handle the helper action.

To obtain the JWK using the JSON Web Key Sets as source:

Open the submit action (GetJWK) created previously and drag the following action:

Fill in the action parameters, with the values configured for JWT in the previous step.

To obtain the JWK using the endpoint as source:

Open the submit action (GetJWK) created previously and drag the helper action:

Fill in the action parameters, with the values configured for JWT in the previous step.

3. Trigger the helper action to obtain the JSON Web Key value

The helper action can be triggered using a button (Destination set to GetJWK action). Each helper action returns the related JWK, that can be used as public key to validate the token.

Target JSON Web Key (public key)
