Consumer Sales Portal authentication
The Consumer Sales Portal uses a JWT from Okta to authenticate with InsuranceNow. JWT client authentication requires that the Guidewire Cloud team registers the application with the Guidewire Identity Federation Hub and that InsuranceNow is configured with the required settings and credentials to request and receive a JWT from Okta.
The following steps describe how consumer sales portals authenticate with InsuranceNow:
- Portal submits the
POST /clients/{clientId}/sessions
API endpoint. - InsuranceNow requests an Okta-issued JWT token
- InsuranceNow includes the Okta-issued JWT token in the API response.
- The portal includes the Okta-issued JWT token with each subsequent API request for that session.
- InsuranceNow validates the Okta-issued JWT token prior to executing each API request.
