Specifying deployment information

Checking deployment IDs

When processing an API call that uses bearer token authentication, Cloud API verifies that the tenant, project, and planet class specified in the JWT match the tenant, project, and planet class of this instance of PolicyCenter.

This check is accomplished using deployment IDs. A deployment ID is a string that specifies, for a given instance of PolicyCenter, the tenant, project, and planet class than the instance belongs to. Deployment IDs are formatted using GRN (Guidewire Resource Notation).

If you want bearer token authentication to work for a given instance of PolicyCenter, the instance's deployment ID must be specified prior to starting the instance. If the deployment ID is not specified, every call using bearer token authentication is returned with a null pointer exception.

For more information about specifying deployment information, see the Guidewire Cloud Platform Documentation.
