Generating a JWT token

The JWT token that is generated is used for authentication to call the REST APIs.

Generate a token in the https://jwt.io/ website by using the following steps:

1. Select the algorithm RS256 from the Algorithm drop-down menu.
2. Enter the header and the payload. For more information, see the header and payload format.
3. Download the private key from the /home/vol/privatekey.pem drop server.
4. Enter the downloaded private key in the Private Key field of the Verify Signature section. Ensure that you have removed the public certificate from the Public Key or Certificate field, if the certificate exists.

   A token is generated in the Encoded section. Copy this token on your system for further use.
