Claim

Which claims to be included in the token are controlled by the claims (or tokenattributes) configuration property containing an array of claim objects. A claim object has a name (name of claim), a value (value of claim, supports property expansion) and a type (claim value target type).

Claim value must be expanded to a string but may contain any string encoded json. When value is added to the claim it is converted to the configured type.

Supported types:

  • string (default)
  • object
  • array
  • number (double value)
  • integer/int
  • boolean/bool
  • null


Example claim - array of strings:

{
    "name": "roles"
    "value": "[\"admin\",\"manager\",\"user\"]",
    "type": "array"
}


Example claim - objects:

{
    "name": "keys"
    "value": "{
        \"key_1\": \"value_1\",
        \"key_2\": \"value_2\",
        \"key_3\": \"value_3\",
    }",
    "type": "object"
}



Example Configuration

{      
    "name": "GenerateJWTTokenVavle",
    "enabled": "true",
    "config": {
        "subjectattribute" : "{{session.user_id}}",
        "keystore" : "d2c3094d-f538-4abc-9211-cd26c46606d3",
        "expire_seconds" : "600",
