Configuring activities to generate a JSON Web Token
Version:
To generate a JSON Web Token in Pega Platform, you need to call the pxGenerateJWT activity. The activity can then generate the token.

In your activity, add a step to call the activity pxGenerateJWT, and pass these parameters.
- profileName - Enter the token profile name that you created.

- Token profile data instance
Create a JSON Web Token (JWT) profile data instance to confirm a user's identity between two different processes. JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard that defines a compact and self-contained method to securely exchange information between different parties as a JSON object. For example, the token can contain information about a user that can be used by another party to validate the identity of the user.
- Creating a token profile
Use a JSON Web Token (JWT) to exchange information securely between two different parties. For example, a JWT can carry information about a user that can be used by another party to authenticate the identity of the user.
