JWT bearer
A JWT Bearer grant type is used when the client wants to receive access tokens without transmitting sensitive information. It can also be used with trusted clients to gain access to user resources without user authorization.
In the request Authorization tab, select JWT Bearer from the Type dropdown list.
Algorithm – Select an algorithm to use for the JWT token. Supported algorithms consist of:
- HS – HMAC with SHA
- RS – RSA (RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5) with SHA
- ES – ECDSA with SHA
- PS – RSA (RSASSA-PSS) with SHA
- Secret – The secret that’s used with the HMAC-SHA set of rules.
- Secret Base64 encoded – If the key is encoded in the base-sixty four format.
- Private key – The non-public key for signing the token for RS, ES, and PS algorithms. Select Select file to add a personal key in PKCS #8 format.
- Payload – Enter the payload records in your JWT token, in JSON layout.
In the Advanced configuration segment, you can additionally configure the following gadgets. If you don’t configure them, they are generated routinely.
- Header prefix – An optional prefix to apply at the start of headers. This header prefix is a part of the request and not part of JWT.
- Headers – Any custom headers you furthermore mght need to send in the JWT token. Headers concerning the chosen algorithm are routinely delivered.
What are authentication methods supported in Postman?
An API platform called Postman is used to create and use APIs. With Postman, you can design better APIs more quickly by streamlining collaboration and simplifying each step of the API lifecycle. Authentication in Postman verifies a user’s identification. It includes sending a validated username and password with a request. In this article, you will be exploring different types of authentication methods that are available in Postman.
