Can I use the REST connector to access cloud services that require JWT authentication?

Question

I would like to use REST connector to access cloud services that require authentication with JWT (JSON Web Token) when using WebAPI.
If this is possible with HULFT Square, how can I achieve this?

Answer

HULFT Square supports authentication with JWT.
You can use JWT authentication by referring to the API reference of the target cloud service and setting the JWT token in the request settings of the POST method.

However, issuing a JWT token requires encryption using methods such as BASE64URLEncode and RSA-SHA256, and HULFT Square does not have a connector that is capable of handling these encryption methods.
Therefore, it is necessary to obtain a JWT token by alternative methods, such as creating a token in an external application, and set it to the REST connector.

Also, depending on the cloud service, it may be necessary to obtain a JWT token for each process and set it in the REST connector.
In this case, it is not practical to set a JWT token for each process, and it is difficult to achieve this with HULFT Square, so please check the specifications of the target cloud service in the API reference.

Please note that alternative methods for obtaining JWT tokens vary depending on the specifications of each cloud service. HULFT Square Technical Support Center does not have detailed information on this topic and cannot answer for that.
