When designing an Agent Portal, use the Guidewire
Identity Hub integrated authentication via OAuth2 and JWTs.
About this task
Every caller application must be registered with Guidewire
Hub. The information provided during the registration process varies based on whether the
application is a browser-based application or a service application.
Procedure
-
Determine which auth flow the application will use. The auth flow must be one of the
following:
- Front End using Trusted Server
- Single Page Application using PKCE
- Standalone service
- Service with user context
- Service with service account mapping
-
Contact Guidewire and specify that you need an "InsuranceNow REST API registration with
Guidewire Hub" using the desired auth flow.
Guidewire sends you a list of required information based on the selected auth
flow. Provide this information to Guidewire. Guidewire registers the application for OAuth
based on the information provided. Guidewire will also send information to you that you
need to further configure authentication, such as a client ID and client secret.
Once
you have the authorization information from Guidewire, you can proceed with
authentication configuration.
