About this task
Before an application can request JWTs, the application must be registered with
Guidewire Hub.
Procedure
-
Determine which auth flow the application will use. The auth flow must be one
of the following:
- Front end application (auth code flow for internal users
and/or external users). If choosing this option, you must also specify
whether you plan to use PKCE or a client secret.
- Standalone service
- Service with user context
- Service with service account mapping
-
Contact Guidewire Cloud Operations and specify that you need an
"InsuranceSuite REST API registration" using the desired auth
flow.
-
Guidewire Cloud Operations sends a list of required information based on the
selected auth flow. Provide this information to Guidewire Cloud
Operations.
-
Guidewire Cloud Operations registers the application for OAuth based on
the information provided. They will also send information to you that
you need to further configure authentication, such as a client ID and
client secret.
Results
Once you have the authorization information from Guidewire Cloud Operations, you can
proceed with authentication configuration.For further information on the difference
between auth code flow with PKCE and auth code flow with client secret, refer to
Authentication with Guidewire Identity Federation Hub in the Guidewire
Cloud Platform documentation set.
