JWT Auth Credentials

JWT authentication credentials allow your SubverseAI agents to authenticate with services using JSON Web Tokens for secure API access.

​
Overview

JWT credentials provide access to:
  • Modern API services using JWT authentication
  • Microservices architecture
  • Stateless authentication systems
  • Token-based APIs
  • Secure web services

Steps to Create JWT Auth Credentials

​
1. Identify JWT Requirements

Check your API documentation to confirm it uses JWT authentication:
  • Look for “JWT” or “JSON Web Token” authentication
  • Check for token endpoint and format requirements
  • Verify any additional claims needed

​
2. Get JWT Credentials

From your service provider, collect:
  • JWT Token: Your JSON Web Token
  • Header Name: Usually “Authorization” (default)
  • Token Prefix: Usually “Bearer” (default)

​
3. Add to SubverseAI

  1. Go to Credentials in your SubverseAI dashboard
  2. Click Create New Credential
  3. Select JWT Auth from the credential types
  4. Enter a name for your credential
  5. Fill in the required fields:
    • JWT Token: Your JSON Web Token
    • Header Name: Header name for the token (default: “Authorization”)
    • Token Prefix: Token prefix (default: “Bearer”)
  6. Click Test Connection to verify the credentials work
  7. Click Save Credential

​
Required Fields

  • Name: A descriptive name for your credential
  • JWT Token: Your JSON Web Token
  • Header Name: Header name for the token (default: “Authorization”)
  • Token Prefix: Token prefix (default: “Bearer”)

​
Usage Tips

  • Check token expiration and refresh as needed
  • Use HTTPS endpoints to protect tokens in transit
  • Store JWT tokens securely and rotate regularly
  • Verify token claims match service requirements

​
Troubleshooting

Invalid Token: Verify JWT token is valid and not expired Malformed Token: Check token format and encoding 401 Unauthorized: Ensure token has required claims and permissions Header Missing: Verify header name and prefix are correct

​
Next Steps

After creating your JWT credentials:
  • Set up JWT-based API integrations
  • Configure token refresh workflows
  • Build secure microservice connections
  • Monitor token expiration and renewal
  • Implement token validation checks
