Create signed JWTs for agent authentication
New PASDKC-197
The agent SDK for C now supports authenticating PingAccess agents to the engine nodes with a bearer token.
|
To use bearer token authentication, you must upgrade to PingAccess 8.2 and either the PingAccess agent for Apache (RHEL) or the PingAccess agent for Apache (SLES) 3.0. Compatibility for the other agent types will be added in a future release. |
After you configure a compatible PingAccess agent with the updated agent.properties file and select Require Token Authentication in the agent’s configuration, the agent creates, signs, and sends a unique JWT for every authentication request.
|
The JWT expires after 2 minutes, so you must ensure you synchronize the agent and the PingAccess server’s clocks. |
Learn more in the PingAccess 8.2 release notes. You can find setup instructions in Configuring PingAccess agents to use bearer token authentication.
