Plugin GenerateJwtPlugin in Jitterbit App Builder

Summary

Generates a JSON Web Token (JWT) for each row returned by the Filter event.

Registration

The GenerateJwtPlugin is an action plugin for a table-level event. It must be registered on the intrinsic Filter event. Because the plugin alters the behavior of the Filter event, it should be registered on a business object, not a physical table.

Generated JWTs are compatible with the App Builder JWT SSO security provider.

Usage

The GenerateJwtPlugin can be used to integrate with third-party systems. The developer might add a button to a page that invokes an event before following a link. Clicking the link invokes the event, generating the JWT which is then substituted into the external link.
