JWS Class
Contains methods that apply a digital signature to a JSON Web Token
(JWT), using a JSON Web Signature (JWS) data structure. This class creates the signed JWT
bearer token, which can be used to request an OAuth access token in the OAuth 2.0 JWT bearer
token flow.
Namespace
Usage
Use the methods in this class to sign the JWT bearer token with the X509 certificate.
JWS Constructors
The following are constructors for JWS.
JWS(jwt, certDevName)
Creates an instance of the JWS
class using the specified Auth.JWT payload and the
certificate used for signing the JWT bearer token.
Signature
public JWS(Auth.JWT jwt, String certDevName)
Parameters
Usage
Calls the toJSONString()
method in Auth.JWT and sets the resulting string as
the payload of the JWT bearer token. Alternatively, you can specify the payload directly using
JWS(payload, certDevName).
JWS(payload, certDevName)
Creates an instance of the JWS
class using the specified payload and certificate used for signing the JWT bearer
token.
Signature
public JWS(String payload, String certDevName)
Parameters
Usage
Sets the payload string as the payload of the
JWT bearer token. Alternatively, if you generate the payload using Auth.JWT, you can use JWS(jwt, certDevName) instead.
