Alumio has supported JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication since version 3.45.0. By using this authentication method, it will result every call involving this HTTP authentication will have a bearer token (Authorization: Bearer JWT_TOKEN_HERE) within the HTTP request headers.

Please refer to JWT website for further information about JWT authentication.

    c. RS256 (Passphrase)
    d. EdSDA (Ed25519)
  4. If you choose HS256, RS256 (Passphrase) or EdSDA (ED25519), fill in the secret in the JWT encryption key.
  5. If you choose RS256 (RSA with key), you will be asked to fill in the Client certificate or the Private Key
  6. Fill in the expire time in seconds.
  7. Fill in the JWT Headers, and leave out the type and alg headers, as those will be set automatically by Alumio.
