Issue/Introduction

How to authenticate and obtain JWT token for REST API's using the WAMUI.

Environment

Policy Server: 12.8.8 and all supported versions.

Resolution

Below are the steps to obtain the JWT token using WAMUI.

1. Login to the WAMUI and scroll down and click on the REST API's.

2. CA SSO REST API window opens in a new tab and you can view the REST services offered by CA SSO.

3. Click Authenticate on top right corner and enter basic authentication details.
    Note: Only Legacy users will be working for REST API's and if you're using any external store configuration for WAMUI those credentials won't work with REST API's.

4. Once you login it generates the session key(JWT Token) for authentication and authorization to use other API calls.
     Note: The token is valid only for 15minutes. You can notice the time counter at the top-right corner of the page.
