Create JWT Token»

JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object.

This information can be verified and trusted because it is digitally signed.

JWT tokens are recommended for applications, for example, Terraform, and they can expire automatically.

To create a JWT Token, login to the KopiCloud AD API Management Portal, and click on the JWT Token menu.

Enter a unique token name and expiration time (or 0 to create a not-expiring token), and click on the Generate button.
