Registering the caller application with Guidewire Hub

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.

Note: This information applies to applications that are not registered with Integration Gateway. If your application is integrated with Integration Gateway, see Integration Gateway for Developers in the Guidewire Cloud Platform documentation set for information on how to register the application.
Note: If you are using Jutro Web Apps on the Jutro Development Platform, you do not need to register the application with Guidewire Hub as described in the steps below. Instead, there is a self-service tool you can use to register the application. For more information, see the Jutro Digital Platform documentation.

Register an application with Guidewire Hub

About this task

Before an application can request JWTs, the application must be registered with Guidewire Hub.

Procedure

  1. 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
  2. Contact Guidewire and specify that you need an "InsuranceSuite REST API registration with Guidewire Hub" using the desired auth flow.
  3. Guidewire sends a list of required information based on the selected auth flow. Provide this information to Guidewire.
  4. Guidewire 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, 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.
